perf metricgroup: Support multiple events for metricgroup

Some uncore metrics don't work as expected. For example, on
cascadelakex:

  root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL -a -- sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

           1841092      unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
           3680816      unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts

       1.001775055 seconds time elapsed

  root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY -a -- sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

         860649746      unc_m_pmm_rpq_occupancy.all
           1840557      unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
       12790627455      unc_m_clockticks

       1.001773348 seconds time elapsed

No metrics 'UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL' or 'UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY' are
reported.

The issue is, the case of an alias expanding to mulitple events is not
supported, typically the uncore events.  (see comments in
find_evsel_group()).

For UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL in above example, the expanded event group
is '{unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts,unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts}:W', but the actual
events passed to find_evsel_group are:

  unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
  unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
  unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
  unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
  unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
  unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
  unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
  unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
  unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
  unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
  unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts
  unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts

For this multiple events case, it's not supported well.

This patch introduces a new field 'metric_leader' in struct evsel. The
first event is considered as a metric leader. For the rest of same
events, they point to the first event via it's metric_leader field in
struct evsel.

This design is for adding the counting results of all same events to the
first event in group (the metric_leader).

With this patch,

  root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL -a -- sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

           1842108      unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts     #    337.2 MB/sec  UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL
           3682209      unc_m_pmm_wpq_inserts

       1.001819706 seconds time elapsed

  root@lkp-csl-2sp2:~# perf stat -M UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY -a -- sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

         861970685      unc_m_pmm_rpq_occupancy.all #    219.4 ns  UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY
           1842772      unc_m_pmm_rpq_inserts
       12790196356      unc_m_clockticks

       1.001749103 seconds time elapsed

Now we can see the correct metrics 'UNC_M_PMM_BANDWIDTH.TOTAL' and
'UNC_M_PMM_READ_LATENCY'.
