Subject: [RFC PATCH] perf cgroup: simplify arguments if track multiple events
 for a cgroup

if use -G with one cgroup and -e with multiple events, only the first
event has correct cgroup setting, all events from the second will track
system-wide events.

if user want track multiple events for a specific cgroup, user must give
parameters like follow:
$ perf stat -e e1 -e e2 -e e3 -G test,test,test
this patch simplify this case, just type one cgroup, like following:
$ perf stat -e e1 -e e2 -e e3 -G test

reproduce:
$ mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/test
$ perf stat -e cycles -e cache-misses  -a -I 1000 -G test

before:
     1.001007226      <not counted>      cycles                    test
     1.001007226              7,506      cache-misses

after:
     1.000834097      <not counted>      cycles                    test
     1.000834097      <not counted>      cache-misses              test
