[PATCH] powerpc/perf: Give generic PMU a nice name

When booting on a machine that uses the compat pmu driver we see this:

 [    0.071192] GENERIC_COMPAT performance monitor hardware support registered

Which is a bit shouty. Give it a nicer name.

Other options:

 - ISAv3 (because it is relevant for PowerISA 3.0B and beyond, see the
   comment in init_generic_compat_pmu)

 - Generic Compat (same, but less shouty)
