Subject: [PATCH] perf test: Fix test case perf evlist tests for s390x

Perf test case 78: perf evlist tests fails on s390. The failure
is causes by grouping events cycles and instructions because
sampling does only support event cycles.
Change the group to -e '{cycles,cycles}' to fix this.

Output before:
  # ./perf test 78
  78: perf evlist tests              : FAILED!
  #

Output after:
  # ./perf test 78
  78: perf evlist tests              : Ok
  #

Fixes: db452961de939 ("perf tests evlist: Add basic evlist test")
