Perf: Add support for L2 cycle counter in default list

Browse Source 
Adding the L2 cycle counter in the default list of events
has the advantage that the user can do a :

perf stat -e l2-cycles -e cycles ls

and see the outputs for the L2 cycle counter and L1 cycle
counter separately. Previously, it was only accessible via
the raw code "rsfe".

This method also allows us to program the L2 cycle counter
only from one CPU.

The changes in this patch are used by the userspace perf
tool.
