Subject: [PATCH] perf stat: Skip duration_time in setup_system_wide

Some metrics (such as DRAM_BW_Use) consists of uncore events and
duration_time. For uncore events, counter->core.system_wide is
true. But for duration_time, counter->core.system_wide is false
so target.system_wide is set to false.

Then 'enable_on_exec' is set in perf_event_attr of uncore event.
Kernel will return error when trying to open the uncore event.

This patch skips the duration_time in setup_system_wide then
target.system_wide will be set to true for the evlist of uncore
events + duration_time.

Before (tested on skylake desktop):

 # perf stat -M DRAM_BW_Use -- sleep 1
 Error:
 The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/).
 /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

After:

 # perf stat -M DRAM_BW_Use -- sleep 1

  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                169      arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/ #     0.00 DRAM_BW_Use
             40,427      arb/event=0x81,umask=0x1/
      1,000,902,197 ns   duration_time

        1.000902197 seconds time elapsed

Fixes: 648b5af3f3ae ("libperf: Move 'system_wide' from 'struct evsel' to 'struct perf_evsel'")
