Subject: [PATCH 1/9] perf report: Fix --total-cycles --stdio output error

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

The --total-cycles may output wrong information with the --stdio.

For example,
  perf record -e "{cycles,instructions}",cache-misses -b sleep 1
  perf report --total-cycles --stdio

The total cycles output of {cycles,instructions} and cache-misses are
almost the same.

With the symbol_conf.event_group, the perf report should only report the
block information of the leader event in a group.
However, the current implementation retrieves the next event's block
information, rather than the next group leader's block information.

Make sure the index is updated even if the event is skipped.

With the patch,
