perf jevents: Fix build issue in '*/' in event descriptions

For big string offsets we output comments for what string the offset
is for. If the string contains a '*/' as seen in Intel Arrowlake event
descriptions, then this causes C parsing issues for the generated
pmu-events.c. Catch such '*/' values and escape to avoid this.
