Subject: [PATCH 1/4] perf stat: Fix BPF program section name

It seems the recent libbpf got more strict about the section name.
I'm seeing a failure like this:

  $ sudo ./perf stat -a --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup ^. sleep 1
  libbpf: prog 'on_cgrp_switch': missing BPF prog type, check ELF section name 'perf_events'
  libbpf: prog 'on_cgrp_switch': failed to load: -22
  libbpf: failed to load object 'bperf_cgroup_bpf'
  libbpf: failed to load BPF skeleton 'bperf_cgroup_bpf': -22
  Failed to load cgroup skeleton

The section name should be 'perf_event' (without the trailing 's').
Although it's related to the libbpf change, it'd be better fix the
section name in the first place.
