[PATCH] perf evsel: Ignore the non-group case for branch counters

[kan.liang@linux.intel.com]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

The perf test 27: Sample parsing fails with the branch counters support
introduced.

The branch counters feature requires all the events to belong to a
group. There is no problem with the normal perf usage which usually
initializes an evlist even for a single evsel.
But the perf test is special, which may not initialize an evlist. The
Sample parsing test case is one of the examples. The existing code
crashes with the !evsel->evlist.

Non-group means the evsel doesn't have branch counters support.
