Subject: [PATCH] perf metricgroup: Fix for metrics containing duration_time

Metrics containing duration_time cause a segfault:

$./perf stat -v -M L1D_Cache_Fill_BW sleep 1
Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-3D-4
metric expr 64 * l1d.replacement / 1000000000 / duration_time for L1D_Cache_Fill_BW
found event duration_time
found event l1d.replacement
adding {l1d.replacement}:W,duration_time
l1d.replacement -> cpu/umask=0x1,(null)=0x1e8483,event=0x51/
Segmentation fault

In commit c2337d67199a ("perf metricgroup: Fix metrics using aliases
covering multiple PMUs"), the logic in find_evsel_group() when iter'ing
events was changed to not only select events in same group, but also for
aliased PMUs.

Checking whether events were for aliased PMUs was done by comparing the
event PMU name. This was not safe for duration_time event, which has no
associated PMU (and no PMU name), so fix by checking if the event PMU name
is set also.
