Subject: [PATCH v1] perf inject: Fix leader sampling inserting additional samples
The processing of leader samples would turn an individual sample with
a group of read values into multiple samples. Perf inject would pass
through the additional samples increasing the output data file size:
```
$ perf record -g -e "{instructions,cycles}:S" -o perf.orig.data true
$ perf script -D -i perf.orig.data | sed -e 's/perf.orig.data/perf.data/g' > orig.txt
$ perf inject -i perf.orig.data -o perf.new.data
$ perf script -D -i perf.new.data | sed -e 's/perf.new.data/perf.data/g' > new.txt
$ diff -u orig.txt new.txt

```
This behavior is incorrect as in the case above perf inject should
have done nothing. Fix this behavior by disabling separating samples
for a tool that requests it. Only request this for `perf inject` so as
to not affect other perf tools. With the patch and the test above
there are no differences between the orig.txt and new.txt.
Fixes: e4caec0d1af3 ("perf evsel: Add PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample related processing")
