perf/rapl: Fix sysfs_show() initialization for RAPL PMU
This patch fixes a problem with the initialization of the sysfs_show() routine for the RAPL PMU. The current code was wrongly relying on the EVENT_ATTR_STR() macro which uses the events_sysfs_show() function in the x86 PMU code. That function itself was relying on the x86_pmu data structure. Yet RAPL and the core PMU (x86_pmu) have nothing to do with each other. They should therefore not interact with each other. The x86_pmu structure is initialized at boot time based on the host CPU model. When the host CPU is not supported, the x86_pmu remains uninitialized and some of the callbacks it contains are NULL. The false dependency with x86_pmu could potentially cause crashes in case the x86_pmu is not initialized while the RAPL PMU is. This may, for instance, be the case in virtualized environments. This patch fixes the problem by using a private sysfs_show() routine for exporting the RAPL PMU events.
