perf, tools: Move perf_evsel__reset_weak_group into evlist

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

Implement a weak group fallback for perf record, similar to the existing perf stat support. This allows to use groups that might be longer than the available counters without failing.

Before:

$ perf record  -e '{cycles,cache-misses,cache-references,cpu_clk_unhalted.thread,cycles,cycles,cycles}' -a sleep 1
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cycles).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

After:

$ ./perf record  -e '{cycles,cache-misses,cache-references,cpu_clk_unhalted.thread,cycles,cycles,cycles}:W' -a sleep 1
WARNING: No sample_id_all support, falling back to unordered processing
[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 8.136 MB perf.data (134069 samples) ]

- Move the function from builtin-stat to evlist for reuse
- Rename to evlist to match purpose better
- Pass the evlist as first argument.
- No functional changes
