Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Dont create sysfs event files for dummy
 events

References: bsc#1182118 ltc#190624
Patch-mainline: v5.12-rc1
Git-commit: e5f9d8858612c192a4326f39ed16c91c3a9e0893

The hv_24x7 performance monitoring unit creates a list of supported
events from the event catalog obtained via HCALL. The hv_24x7 catalog
could also contain invalid or dummy events with names like RESERVED*.
These events do not have any hardware counters backing them. Add a
check to string compare the event names to filter such events out.

Result on power9 machine:
