perf evsel: Modify group pmu name for software events

If we have a group of {cycles,faults} then we need the faults software
event to appear to be on the same PMU as cycles so that we don't split
the group in parse_events__sort_events_and_fix_groups.

This case is relatively easy as cycles is the leader and will have a PMU
name. In the reverse case, {faults,cycles} we still need faults to
appear to have the PMU name of cycles but the old behavior is just to
return "cpu".

For hybrid this fails as cycles will be on "cpu_core" or "cpu_atom",
causing faults to be split into a different group.

Change the behavior for software events so that the whole group is
searched for the named PMU.
