perf parse-events: When fixing group leaders always set the leader
The evsel grouping fix iterates over evsels tracking the leader group and the current position's group, updating the current position's leader if an evsel is being forced into a group or groups changed. However, groups changing isn't a sufficient condition as sorting may have reordered events and the leader may no longer come first. For this reason update all leaders whenever they disagree. This change breaks certain Icelake+ metrics due to bugs in the kernel. For example, tma_l3_bound with threshold enabled tries to program the events: {topdown-retiring,slots,CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_L2_MISS,topdown-fe-bound,EXE_ACTIVITY.BOUND_ON_STORES,EXE_ACTIVITY.1_PORTS_UTIL,topdown-be-bound,cpu/INT_MISC.RECOVERY_CYCLES,cmask=1,edge/,CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_L3_MISS,CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD,CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_MEM_ANY,EXE_ACTIVITY.2_PORTS_UTIL,CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_TOTAL,topdown-bad-spec}:W fixing the perf metric event order gives: {slots,topdown-retiring,topdown-fe-bound,topdown-be-bound,topdown-bad-spec,CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_L2_MISS,EXE_ACTIVITY.BOUND_ON_STORES,EXE_ACTIVITY.1_PORTS_UTIL,cpu/INT_MISC.RECOVERY_CYCLES,cmask=1,edge/,CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_L3_MISS,CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD,CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_MEM_ANY,EXE_ACTIVITY.2_PORTS_UTIL,CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_TOTAL}:W Both of these return "<not counted>" for all events, whilst they work with the group removed respecting that the perf metric events must still be grouped. A vendor events update will need to add METRIC_NO_GROUP to these metrics to workaround the kernel PMU driver issue.
