Since we only set the flag for the SLOTS event now, the V7 patch will
treat the metric events as normal events, which trigger an error.
To fix the error, I think we may merge the changes as below with the
[PATCH 08/14] perf/x86/intel: Generic support for hardware TopDown metrics.
I think we don't need the PERF_X86_EVENT_TOPDOWN flag anymore.
If it's a non-sampling slots event, apply the special function.
If it's a metric event, do nothing.
