perf tools: Uniquify the event name if there's no other matched event

reviewerPATCH 1/1 perf tools: Uniquify the event name if there's no other matched event
Currently by default we try to match the user specified PMU name to all PMU units available and use them to aggregate all matched PMUs event counts into one 'pattern' event.
While this is useful for uncore events, it screws up names for other events, where this is not desirable, like:
Before:
# perf stat -e cp/cpu-cycles/ kill
Performance counter stats for 'kill':
1,573,757 cp/cpu-cycles/
Keeping the pattern matching logic, but making the name unique in case there's no other match found. That fixes the example above and hopefully does not screw up anything else.
After:
# perf stat -e cp/cpu-cycles/ kill
Performance counter stats for 'kill':
1,573,757 cpu/cpu-cycles/
