[RFC PATCH 1/2] tools/perf: Don't set attr->disabled when doing grouping

[Deng-Cheng Zhu]

Events will be created at the state PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF if attr->disabled
is set. When these events go to arch level validate_group(), the function
won't do anything real because they are filtered out by the state check.
