s390/perf: fix null string in perf list pmu command 

Command 'perf list pmu' displays events which contain
an invalid string "(null)=xxx", where xxx is the pmu event
name, for example:
   cpum_cf/AES_BLOCKED_CYCLES,(null)=AES_BLOCKED_CYCLES/
This is not correct, the invalid string should not be
displayed at all.

It is caused by an obsolete term in the
sysfs attribute file for each s390 CPUMF counter event.
Reading from the sysfs file also displays the event
name.

Fix this by omitting the event name.  This patch makes
s390 CPUMF sysfs files consistent with other plattforms.

This is an interface change between user and kernel
but does not break anything. Reading from a counter event
sysfs file should only list terms mentioned in the
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/<cpumf>/format directory.
Name is not listed.
