Subject: [PATCH RFC 05/10] perf,tools: Enable statistic read for perf record

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...el.com>

Using 'N' event/group modifier to specify the event which want to read
counter statistics during sampling. For this event, the sampling will
be disabled unless it's group leader.
The 'N' modifier only be available for in system-wide/CPU mode. If a
group is marked as 'N' modifier, only group members read counter
statistics. Group leader always do sampling.
The other limit is that the first event cannot be stat read event, since
many tools special handle first event.
