[PATCH v4 1/3] perf evlist: Create new function perf_evlist__force_leader

From: Jin Yao
Date: Mon May 21 2018 - 02:09:08 EST


For non-explicit group, perf report supports a option '--group'
which can enable group output. We also need to support perf annotate
with the same '--group'.

Create a new function perf_evlist__force_leader which contains
common code to force setting the group leader.
