Putting a 'struct devfreq_event_dev' object on the stack is generally
a bad idea and here it leads to a warnig about potential stack overflow:

drivers/devfreq/event/exynos-ppmu.c:643:12: error: stack frame size of 1040 bytes in function 'exynos_ppmu_probe' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than=]

There is no real need for the device structure, only the string inside
it, so add an internal helper function that simply takes the string
as its argument and remove the device structure.

Fixes: 1dd62c66d345 ("PM / devfreq: events: extend events by type of counted data")

I got that the original exynos_ppmu_find_ppmu_id() function
has the bug. If 'events' node contains the one more events,
it will be failed. Because 'events' node only contained
the only one event on device-tree node on real use-case,
the problem had not happened.

'desc' indicates the array. So, instead of desc->name,
have to use 'desc[j].name correctly. 

And I'll fix the fundamental bug on separate patch.
