From: Thomas Richter <tmricht at linux.ibm.com>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2103415

Add metrics for s390 z16

- Percentage sourced from Level 2 cache
- Percentage sourced from Level 3 on same chip cache
- Percentage sourced from Level 4 Local cache on same book
- Percentage sourced from Level 4 Remote cache on different book
- Percentage sourced from memory

For details about the formulas see this documentation:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/system/files/inline-files/CPU%20MF%20Formulas%20including%20z16%20-%20May%202022_1.pdf

Output after:

  # ./perf stat -M l4rp -- dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=10M count=10K
  .... dd output deleted
