[ Upstream commit eb573e746b9d4f0921dcb2449be3df41dae3caea ]

Commit f01642e4912b ("perf metricgroup: Support multiple events for
metricgroup") introduced support for multiple events in a metric group.
But with the current upstream, metric events names are not printed
properly

In power9 platform:

command:# ./perf stat --metric-only -M translation -C 0 -I 1000 sleep 2
1.000208486
2.000368863
2.001400558

Similarly in skylake platform:

command:./perf stat --metric-only -M Power -I 1000
1.000579994
2.002189493

With current upstream version, issue is with event name comparison logic
in find_evsel_group(). Current logic is to compare events belonging to a
metric group to the events in perf_evlist. Since the break statement is
missing in the loop used for comparison between metric group and
perf_evlist events, the loop continues to execute even after getting a
pattern match, and end up in discarding the matches.

Incase of single metric event belongs to metric group, its working fine,
because in case of single event once it compare all events it reaches to
end of perf_evlist.

Example for single metric event in power9 platform:

command:# ./perf stat --metric-only -M branches_per_inst -I 1000 sleep 1
1.000094653 0.2
1.001337059 0.0

This patch fixes the issue by making sure once we found all events
belongs to that metric event matched in find_evsel_group(), we
successfully break from that loop by adding corresponding condition.

With this patch:
In power9 platform:

command:# ./perf stat --metric-only -M translation -C 0 -I 1000 sleep 2
result:#
time derat_4k_miss_rate_percent derat_4k_miss_ratio derat_miss_ratio derat_64k_miss_rate_percent derat_64k_miss_ratio dslb_miss_rate_percent islb_miss_rate_percent
1.000135672 0.0 0.3 1.0 0.0 0.2 0.0 0.0
2.000380617 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0

command:# ./perf stat --metric-only -M Power -I 1000

Similarly in skylake platform:
result:#
time Turbo_Utilization C3_Core_Residency C6_Core_Residency C7_Core_Residency C2_Pkg_Residency C3_Pkg_Residency C6_Pkg_Residency C7_Pkg_Residency

2.002235027 0.4 0.0 2.7 43.0 20.7 0.0 0.0 0.0

Committer testing:

Before:

[root@seventh ~]# perf stat --metric-only -M Power -I 1000
# time
1.000383223
2.001168182
3.001968545
4.002741200
5.003442022
^C 5.777687244

[root@seventh ~]#

After the patch:

[root@seventh ~]# perf stat --metric-only -M Power -I 1000
# time Turbo_Utilization C3_Core_Residency C6_Core_Residency C7_Core_Residency C2_Pkg_Residency C3_Pkg_Residency C6_Pkg_Residency C7_Pkg_Residency
