perf pmu: Improve name/comments, avoid a memory allocation

Improve documentation around perf_pmu_alias pmu_name and on
functions.

Reduce the scope of pmu_uncore_alias_match to just file.

Rename perf_pmu__valid_suffix to the more revealing
perf_pmu__match_ignoring_suffix.

Add a short-cut to perf_pmu__match_ignoring_suffix for PMU names that
don't also have a socket value, and can therefore avoid a memory
allocation.
