powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Dont create sysfs event files for dummy events
The hv_24x7 performance monitoring unit creates a list of supported
events from the event catalog obtained via HCALL. The hv_24x7 catalog
could also contain invalid or dummy events with names like RESERVED*.
These events do not have any hardware counters backing them. Add a
check to string compare the event names to filter such events out.
Result on power9 machine:
