[PATCH 1/6] x86/perf/intel/cqm: Fix cqm handling of grouping events into a cache_group

[Vikas Shivappa <vikas.shivappa@linux.intel.com>]

Currently cqm(cache quality of service monitoring) is grouping all
events belonging to same PID to use one RMID. However its not counting
all of these different events. Hence we end up with a count of zero for
all events other than the group leader. The patch tries to address the
issue by keeping a flag in the perf_event.hw which has other cqm related
fields. The field is updated at event creation and during grouping.
