[SRU][J/N:linux-bluefield][PATCH v1 2/2] UBUNTU: SAUCE: mlxbf-pmc: Validate user input for event/enable

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2113758

When taking the event number or name as input from the user, check if the event
actually exists in the event_list. For event_name input, the trailing '\n' char
needs to be removed before comparing strings. Also fix a typo in the comment
preveding mlxbf_pmc_get_event_name().
When programming the enable field, accept only 0 or 1 as valid values. This is
checked currently only for a specific scenario. Make this check common for all
scenarios of mlxbf_pmc_enable_store().
