perf stat: Fix handling of --for-each-cgroup with --bpf-counters to match non BPF mode

[ Upstream commit 54b353a20c7e8be98414754f5aff98c8a68fcc1f ]

The --for-each-cgroup can have the same cgroup multiple times, but this
confuses BPF counters (since they have the same cgroup id), making only
the last cgroup events to be counted.

Let's check the cgroup name before adding a new entry to the cgroups
list.

Before:

  $ sudo ./perf stat -a --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup /,/ sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       <not counted> msec cpu-clock                        /
       <not counted>      context-switches                 /
       <not counted>      cpu-migrations                   /
       <not counted>      page-faults                      /
       <not counted>      cycles                           /
       <not counted>      instructions                     /
       <not counted>      branches                         /
       <not counted>      branch-misses                    /
            8,016.04 msec cpu-clock                        /                #    7.998 CPUs utilized
               6,152      context-switches                 /                #  767.461 /sec
                 250      cpu-migrations                   /                #   31.187 /sec
                 442      page-faults                      /                #   55.139 /sec
         613,111,487      cycles                           /                #    0.076 GHz
         280,599,604      instructions                     /                #    0.46  insn per cycle
          57,692,724      branches                         /                #    7.197 M/sec
           3,385,168      branch-misses                    /                #    5.87% of all branches

         1.002220125 seconds time elapsed

After it becomes similar to the non-BPF mode:

  $ sudo ./perf stat -a --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup /,/  sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

            8,013.38 msec cpu-clock                        /                #    7.998 CPUs utilized
               6,859      context-switches                 /                #  855.944 /sec
                 334      cpu-migrations                   /                #   41.680 /sec
                 345      page-faults                      /                #   43.053 /sec
         782,326,119      cycles                           /                #    0.098 GHz
         471,645,724      instructions                     /                #    0.60  insn per cycle
          94,963,430      branches                         /                #   11.851 M/sec
           3,685,511      branch-misses                    /                #    3.88% of all branches

         1.001864539 seconds time elapsed

Committer notes:

As a reminder, to test with BPF counters one has to use BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1
in the make command line and have clang/llvm installed when building
perf, otherwise the --bpf-counters option will not be available:

  # perf stat -a --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup /,/ sleep 1
  Error: unknown option `bpf-counters'

   Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

      -a, --all-cpus        system-wide collection from all CPUs
  <SNIP>
  #
