perf/core: Optimize perf_init_event()



Andi reported that he was hitting the linear search in
perf_init_event() a lot. Make more agressive use of the IDR lookup to
avoid hitting the linear search.

With exception of PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (which relies on a hideous hack),
we can put everything in the IDR. On top of that, we can alias
TYPE_HARDWARE and TYPE_HW_CACHE to TYPE_RAW on the lookup side.

This greatly reduces the chances of hitting the linear search.
