Runzhen Wang 7e40c92019 perf tools: fix a typo of a Power7 event name
In the Power7 PMU guide:
https://www.power.org/documentation/commonly-used-metrics-for-performance-analysis/
PM_BRU_MPRED is referred to as PM_BR_MPRED.

It fixed the typo by changing the name of the event in kernel and
documentation accordingly.

This patch changes the ABI, there are some reasons I think it's ok:

- It is relatively new interface, specific to the Power7 platform.

- No tools that we know of actually use this interface at this point
 (none are listed near the interface).

- Users of this interface (eg oprofile users migrating to perf)
  would be more used to the "PM_BR_MPRED" rather than "PM_BRU_MPRED".

- These are in the ABI/testing at this point rather than ABI/stable,
  so hoping we have some wiggle room.

Description: Generic performance monitoring events
A collection of performance monitoring events that may be
supported by many/most CPUs. These events can be monitored
using the 'perf(1)' tool.
The contents of each file would look like:
event=0xNNNN
where 'N' is a hex digit and the number '0xNNNN' shows the
"raw code" for the perf event identified by the file's
"basename".

Description: POWER-systems specific performance monitoring events
A collection of performance monitoring events that may be
supported by the POWER CPU. These events can be monitored
using the 'perf(1)' tool.
These events may not be supported by other CPUs.
The contents of each file would look like:
event=0xNNNN
where 'N' is a hex digit and the number '0xNNNN' shows the
"raw code" for the perf event identified by the file's
"basename".
Further, multiple terms like 'event=0xNNNN' can be specified
and separated with comma. All available terms are defined in
the /sys/bus/event_source/devices/<dev>/format file.
