perf tools: Fix locale handling in pmu parsing
Ingo reported regression on display format of big numbers, which is
missing separators (in default perf stat output).
triton:~/tip> perf stat -a sleep 1
...
127008602 cycles # 0.011 GHz
279538533 stalled-cycles-frontend # 220.09% frontend cycles idle
119213269 instructions # 0.94 insn per cycle
This is caused by recent change:
perf stat: Check existence of frontend/backed stalled cycles
that added call to pmu_have_event, that subsequently calls
perf_pmu__parse_scale, which has a bug in locale handling.
The lc string returned from setlocale, that we use to store old locale
value, may be allocated in static storage. Getting a dynamic copy to
make it survive another setlocale call.
$ perf stat ls

2,360,602 cycles # 3.080 GHz
2,703,090 instructions # 1.15 insn per cycle
546,031 branches # 712.511 M/sec
Committer note:
Since the patch introducing the regression didn't made to perf/core,
move it to just before where the regression was introduced, so that we
don't break bisection for this feature.
