Subject: [PATCH 01/40] perf intel-pt: Set no_aux_samples for the tracking event

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

The reason of introducing the tracking event (a dummy software event) is
to collect side-band information. Additional sampling is wasteful.
no_aux_samples should be set for tracking event.
