perf parse-events: Move slots only with topdown

If slots isn't with a topdown event then moving it is unnecessary. For
example {instructions, slots} is re-ordered:

  $ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots}' -a sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

         936,600,825      slots
         144,440,968      instructions

         1.006061423 seconds time elapsed

Which can break tools expecting the command line order to match the
printed order. It is necessary to move the slots event first when it
appears with topdown events. Add extra checking so that the slots event
is only moved in the case of there being a topdown event like:

  $ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

          2427568570      slots
           300927614      instructions
           551021649      topdown-fe-bound

         1.001771803 seconds time elapsed
