[PATCH] perf vendor events power9: Remove UTF-8 characters from json files

Commit 3c22ba524304 ("perf vendor events powerpc: Update POWER9 events")
added and updated power9 pmu json events. However some of the json
events which are part of other.json and pipeline.json files,
contains UTF-8 characters in their brief description.
Having UTF-8 character could brakes the perf build on some distros.
Fix this issue by removing the UTF-8 characters from other.json and
pipeline.json files.

Result without the fix patch:
