perf pmu: Make the loading of formats lazy

The sysfs format files are loaded eagerly in a PMU. Add a flag so that
we create the format but only load the contents when necessary.

Reduce the size of the value in struct perf_pmu_format and avoid holes
so there is no additional space requirement.

For "perf stat -e cycles true" this reduces the number of openat calls
from 648 to 573 (about 12%). The benchmark pmu scan speed is improved
by roughly 5%.
