Subject: [PATCH v1 02/10] perf stat: Don't remove all grouped events when CPU
 maps disagree

If the events in an evlist's CPU map differ then the entire group is
removed. For example:

```
$ perf stat -e '{imc_free_running/data_read/,imc_free_running/data_write/,cs}' -a sleep 1
WARNING: grouped events cpus do not match, disabling group:
  anon group { imc_free_running/data_read/, imc_free_running/data_write/, cs }
```

Change the behavior so that just the events not matching the leader
are removed. So in the example above, just 'cs' will be removed.

Modify the warning so that it is produced once for each group, rather
than once for the entire evlist. Shrink the scope and size of the
warning text buffer.
