Ian Rogers 5040264121 perf pmu: Make the loading of formats lazy
The sysfs format files are loaded eagerly in a PMU. Add a flag so that
we create the format but only load the contents when necessary.

Reduce the size of the value in struct perf_pmu_format and avoid holes
so there is no additional space requirement.

For "perf stat -e cycles true" this reduces the number of openat calls
from 648 to 573 (about 12%). The benchmark pmu scan speed is improved
by roughly 5%.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
