perf mem: Search event name with more flexible path
The perf tool searches a memory event name under the folder '/sys/devices/cpu/events/', this leads to the limitation for the selection of a memory profiling event which must be under this folder. Thus it's impossible to use any other event as memory event which is not under this specific folder, e.g. Arm SPE hardware event is not located in '/sys/devices/cpu/events/' so it cannot be enabled for memory profiling. This patch changes to search folder from '/sys/devices/cpu/events/' to '/sys/devices', so it give flexibility to find events which can be used for memory profiling.
