perf vendor events amd: Fix broken L2 Cache Hits from L2 HWPF metric

Commit 08ed77e414ab2342 ("perf vendor events amd: Add recommended events")
added the hits event "L2 Cache Hits from L2 HWPF" with the same metric
expression as the accesses event "L2 Cache Accesses from L2 HWPF":

$ perf list --details
...
  l2_cache_accesses_from_l2_hwpf
     [L2 Cache Accesses from L2 HWPF]
     [l2_pf_hit_l2 + l2_pf_miss_l2_hit_l3 + l2_pf_miss_l2_l3]
  l2_cache_hits_from_l2_hwpf
     [L2 Cache Hits from L2 HWPF]
     [l2_pf_hit_l2 + l2_pf_miss_l2_hit_l3 + l2_pf_miss_l2_l3]
...

This was wrong and led to counting hits the same as accesses. Section
2.1.15.2 "Performance Measurement" of "PPR for AMD Family 17h Model 31h
B0 - 55803 Rev 0.54 - Sep 12, 2019", documents the hits event with
EventCode 0x70 which is the same as l2_pf_hit_l2.

Fix this, and massage the description for l2_pf_hit_l2 as the hits event
is now the duplicate of l2_pf_hit_l2. AMD recommends using the recommended
event over other events if the duplicate exists and maintain both for
consistency. Hence, l2_cache_hits_from_l2_hwpf should override
l2_pf_hit_l2.

Before:

 # perf stat -M l2_cache_accesses_from_l2_hwpf,l2_cache_hits_from_l2_hwpf sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

             1,436      l2_pf_miss_l2_l3          # 11114.00 l2_cache_accesses_from_l2_hwpf
                                                  # 11114.00 l2_cache_hits_from_l2_hwpf
             4,482      l2_pf_hit_l2
             5,196      l2_pf_miss_l2_hit_l3

       1.001765339 seconds time elapsed

After:

 # perf stat -M l2_cache_accesses_from_l2_hwpf sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

             1,477      l2_pf_miss_l2_l3          # 10442.00 l2_cache_accesses_from_l2_hwpf
             3,978      l2_pf_hit_l2
             4,987      l2_pf_miss_l2_hit_l3

       1.001491186 seconds time elapsed

 # perf stat -e l2_cache_hits_from_l2_hwpf sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

             3,983      l2_cache_hits_from_l2_hwpf

       1.001329970 seconds time elapsed

Note the difference in performance counter values for the accesses
versus the hits after the fix, and the hits event now counting the same
as l2_pf_hit_l2.
