perf pmu: Rename name matching for no suffix or wildcard variants

commit 63e287131cf0c59b026053d6d63fe271604ffa7e upstream.

Wildcard PMU naming will match a name like pmu_1 to a PMU name like
pmu_10 but not to a PMU name like pmu_2 as the suffix forms part of
the match. No suffix matching will match pmu_10 to either pmu_1 or
pmu_2. Add or rename matching functions on PMU to make it clearer what
kind of matching is being performed.
