perf/core: Optimize perf_init_event() for TYPE_SOFTWARE
Andi reported that he was hitting the linear search in
perf_init_event() a lot. Now that all !TYPE_SOFTWARE events should hit
the IDR, make sure the TYPE_SOFTWARE events are at the head of the
list such that we'll quickly find the right PMU (provided a valid
event was given).
