Subject: [RFC PATCH perf/core v3 11/17] perf probe: Add group name support

Allow user to set group name for adding new event.
Note that this can easily shot yourself in the foot.
E.g. Existing group name can conflict with other events.
Especially, using the group name reserved for kernel
modules can break something when loading/unloading
modules.
