perf cgroup: Simplify arguments when tracking multiple events

When using -G with one cgroup and -e with multiple events, only the
first event gets the correct cgroup setting, all events from the second
onwards will track system-wide events.

If the user wants to track multiple events for a specific cgroup, the
user must give parameters like the following:

  $ perf stat -e e1 -e e2 -e e3 -G test,test,test

This patch simplify this case, just type one cgroup:

  $ perf stat -e e1 -e e2 -e e3 -G test

  $ mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/empty_cgroup
  $ perf stat -e cycles -e cache-misses -a -I 1000 -G empty_cgroup

Before:

     1.001007226   <not counted>      cycles    empty_cgroup
     1.001007226           7,506      cache-misses

After:

     1.000834097   <not counted>      cycles    empty_cgroup
     1.000834097   <not counted>      cache-misses empty_cgroup
