PAPI stats: Use list as argument to ls
In the VPP PAPI stats code, the "ls" argument has always [0] been named "patterns", suggesting it expects a list of strings. In the CSIT utility we have always [1] been using it wrong (passing a single string), but it happened to work as VPP code had a workaround [2] for that. This workaround that got removed by accident in [3], and will be reintroduced in [4]. This change fixes occasional failures in CSIT (if merged sooner than [4]), mainly useful in aviding such failures during bisection.
