[PATCH v2 1/2] perf stat: Propagate supported flag to follower cgroup BPF events

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

When using BPF counters with cgroups, follower events (for cgroups
other than the first one) are not opened. Because they are not opened,
their `supported` flag was left as `false`.

During metric calculation, `prepare_metric` checks if the event is
supported. If it is not supported (like the follower events), it
explicitly sets the value to `NAN`, which eventually causes the metric
to be reported as `nan %`.

Fix this by propagating the `supported` flag from the "leader" events
(the ones opened for the first cgroup) to the "follower" events.
