[RFC PATCH v2 2/2] perf tools: Don't set inherit bit for system wide evsel

[Wang Nan]

Inherit bit is useless for a system wide evsel [1]. Further kernel
improvements are giving more constrain [2] on inherit events. This
patch set inherit bit to 0 for system wide evsels to avoid potential
constrains.
