Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

User visible changes:

 - Do event name substring search as last resort in 'perf list'.
   (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   E.g.:

    # perf list clock

    List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

     cpu-clock                                          [Software event]
     task-clock                                         [Software event]

     uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/                          [Kernel PMU event]
     uncore_cbox_1/clockticks/                          [Kernel PMU event]

     kvm:kvm_pvclock_update                             [Tracepoint event]

 - Reduce min 'perf stat --interval-print/-I' to 10ms. (Kan Liang)

   perf stat --interval in action:

   # perf stat -e cycles -I 50 -a usleep $((200 * 1000))
   print interval < 100ms. The overhead percentage could be high in some cases. Please proceed with caution.
