We could, but would need to move the perf_event_read() earlier in
the perf_event_read_group(). Can we do something like this (it
could be broken into two patches, but merging for easier review)
Would something liks this work?
----
perf_event_read_value() is mostly computing event count, enabled
and running times. Move the perf_event_read() into caller and
rename perf_event_read_value() to perf_event_compute_values().
Then, in perf_event_read_group(), read the event counts using the
transaction interface for all PMUs.
