Subject: [PATCH 24/54] perf tools: Only validate is_pos for tracking evsels

is_pos only useful for tracking events (fork, mmap, exit, ...).
Perf collects those events through evsel with 'tracking' set.
Therefore, there's no need to validate every is_pos against
evlist->is_pos.

This patch is required after perf support PERF_SAMPLE_TAILSIZE.
Since there an extra u64 at the end of this type of evsels, is_pos
for evsel with PERF_SAMPLE_TAILSIZE setting is different from other
evsels.
