perf pmu: Count sys and cpuid JSON events separately
[ Upstream commit d9c5f5f94c2d356fdf3503f7fcaf254512bc032d ]
Sys events are eagerly loaded as each event has a compat option that may
mean the event is or isn't associated with the PMU.
These shouldn't be counted as loaded_json_events as that is used for
JSON events matching the CPUID that may or may not have been loaded. The
mismatch causes issues on ARM64 that uses sys events.
Fixes: e6ff1eed3584362d ("perf pmu: Lazily add JSON events")
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240510024729.1075732-1-justin.he@xxxxxxx/
