Extra parentheses perhaps not needed e.g. just

	&(_evsel)->core.node != (_head)

Parentheses look odd, maybe should be:

	&(_leader)->core

> +	(_evsel) = list_entry((_evsel)->core.node.next, struct evsel, core.node))

Did you consider using (_leader)->core.nr_members so that it is not
necessary to assume the evlist back pointer is populated.
