s/event_cache/events_cache/ ? does not compile for me otherwise

got conflict here, this got recently changed.. needs to have tool param:

-               err = perf_session_queue_event(kvm->session, event, &sample, 0);
+               err = perf_session_queue_event(kvm->session, event, &kvm->tool, &sample, 0);
