Yes, I agree. One function is better.

We just changed the design for the uncore PMU on SPR. There will be two
PMU names for each uncore unit, a real name and an alias. The perf tool
should handle both names. So we have to compare both names here.
I think one generic function can facilitate the code rebase.
