 Segmentation fault

 It happens because "struct trace" in option->value is passed to
 parse_cgroups function instead of "struct evlist".

 v3:
   - missed commit message (Namhyung Kim)

 v2:
   - struct declaration fixed (Namhyung Kim)

Fixes: 9ea42ba4411ac ("perf trace: Support setting cgroups as targets")
