commit 21e6ecf138326eb48eda9d1419bb980736dab308

perf pmu: Remove logic for PMU name being NULL
[ Upstream commit c091ee90897aacf60aee510464cfc28b4041186f ]
The PMU name could be NULL in the case of the fake_pmu. Initialize the
name for the fake_pmu to "fake" so that all other logic can assume it
is initialized. Add a const to the type of name so that a literal can
be used to avoid additional initialization code. Propagate the cost
through related routines and remove now unnecessary "(char *)"
casts. Doing this located a bug in builtin-list for the pmu_glob that
was missing a strdup.
