perf tools: Remove newline char when reading event scale and unit

The <fd979c01> commit intruduced the perf_event_sysfs_show function
to display the event_str value of an attr in kernel/event/core.c. But
the function returns the value with a newline char.

So, if a event also carries a event.unit file, when printing the counter
data perf tool formatting goes for a spin.

That is, because of the event unit, event name is printed in the newline
because of perf_event_sysfs_show returns with a newline char.

Now fixing perf core will break API, hencing proposing a fix in the perf tool.
