Subject: [PATCH v2 06/10] perf evsel: Add function to compute pmu_name

The computed pmu_name respects software events and aux event groups,
such that the pmu_name is changed to be that of the aux event leader
or group leader for software events. This is done as a later change
will split events that are in different PMUs into different groups.

I'm wondering if we can just use evsel->pmu->name if it's set.

Looks like we need to rename this function as it doesn't simply return
the pmu name in the above cases. Maybe evsel__group_pmu_name() ?

Agreed. I think that can be looked into in follow up work.

Agreed, that is a better name. I'll add it in v3.
