perf test: Switch cycles event to cpu-cycles
Without a PMU perf matches an event against any PMU with the event. Unfortunately some PMU drivers advertise a "cycles" event which is typically just a core event. As tests assume a core event, switch to use "cpu-cycles" that avoids the overloaded "cycles" event on troublesome PMUs and is so far not overloaded. Note, on x86 this changes a legacy event into a sysfs one.
