Subject: [PATCH V7 07/14] perf/core: Add a new PERF_EV_CAP_COEXIST event capability

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>

Current perf assumes that events in a group are independent. Close an
event doesn't impact the value of the other events in the same group.
If the closed event is a member, after the event closure, other events
are still running like a group. If the closed event is a leader, other
events are running as singleton events.

However, the assumption is not correct anymore, e.g., the TopDown slots
and metrics events. The slots and metrics events must coexist in the
same group. If the slots event is closed, the value for the metrics
events is invalid.

Add a new PERF_EV_CAP_COEXIST event capability to indicate the
relationship among group events.

If any event with the flag is detached from the group, split the group
into singleton events, and move all events, which have the flag, to the
unrecoverable ERROR state.

The leader of a PERF_EV_CAP_COEXIST group has to be updated at last.
Move perf_event__header_size(leader); to the end of perf_group_detach().
