In metric formulas, event without 'R' modifier is included as a normal event already.
So we don't need to count the event that with 'R' modifier. They only need to be
sampled.

Because we don't want to count them. Make them the group leader would not work.

Ian wants this to be here and also suggested me to rename this function to
evsel__read_retire_lat(). I'm ok with either way.
