375368a961 perf fncache: Switch to using hashmap
The existing fncache can get large in testing situations. As the
bucket array is a fixed size this leads to it degrading to O(n)
performance. Use a regular hashmap that can dynamically reallocate its
array.

Before:
```
$ time perf test "Parsing of PMU event table metrics"
 10.3: Parsing of PMU event table metrics                            : Ok
 10.4: Parsing of PMU event table metrics with fake PMUs             : Ok

real    0m14.132s
user    0m17.806s
sys     0m0.557s
```

After:
```
$ time perf test "Parsing of PMU event table metrics"
 10.3: Parsing of PMU event table metrics                            : Ok
 10.4: Parsing of PMU event table metrics with fake PMUs             : Ok

real    0m13.287s
user    0m13.026s
sys     0m0.532s
```

d96645821e perf pmu: Use file system cache to optimize sysfs access
pmu.c does a lot of redundant /sys accesses while parsing aliases
and probing for PMUs. On large systems with a lot of PMUs this
can get expensive (>2s):

  % time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
  ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
   27.25    1.227847           8    160888     16976 openat
   26.42    1.190481           7    164224    164077 stat

Add a cache to remember if specific file names exist or don't
exist, which eliminates most of this overhead.

Also optimize some stat() calls to be slightly cheaper access()

Resulting in:

    0.18    0.004166           2      1851       305 open
    0.08    0.001970           2       829       622 access
