perf vendor events: Remove UTF-8 characters from cmn.json
[ Upstream commit 457caadce7ab71a54ee2d4f032ee4a55b4a28776 ]
cmn.json contains UTF-8 characters in brief description which
could break the perf build on some distros.
Fix this issue by removing the UTF-8 characters from cmn.json.
without this fix:
$find tools/perf/pmu-events/ -name "*.json" | xargs file -i | grep -v us-ascii
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/arm64/arm/cmn/sys/cmn.json: application/json; charset=utf-8
with it:
$ file -i tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/arm64/arm/cmn/sys/cmn.json
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/arm64/arm/cmn/sys/cmn.json: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
