Subject: [PATCH V3 2/4] perf stat: Always keep perf metrics topdown events in a group

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

If any member in a group has a different cpu mask than the other
members, the current perf stat disables group. when the perf metrics
topdown events are part of the group, the below <not supported> error
will be triggered.

$ perf stat -e "{slots,topdown-retiring,uncore_imc_free_running_0/dclk/}" -a sleep 1
WARNING: grouped events cpus do not match, disabling group:
  anon group { slots, topdown-retiring, uncore_imc_free_running_0/dclk/ }

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       141,465,174      slots
   <not supported>      topdown-retiring
     1,605,330,334      uncore_imc_free_running_0/dclk/

The perf metrics topdown events must always be grouped with a slots
event as leader.

Factor out evsel__remove_from_group() to only remove the regular events
from the group.

Remove evsel__must_be_in_group(), since no one use it anymore.

With the patch, the topdown events aren't broken from the group for the
splitting.

$ perf stat -e "{slots,topdown-retiring,uncore_imc_free_running_0/dclk/}" -a sleep 1
WARNING: grouped events cpus do not match, disabling group:
  anon group { slots, topdown-retiring, uncore_imc_free_running_0/dclk/ }

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       346,110,588      slots
       124,608,256      topdown-retiring
     1,606,869,976      uncore_imc_free_running_0/dclk/
