[RFC PATCH 3/5] perf tools: Only set filter for tracepoints events

[Wang Nan]

perf_evlist__set_filter() tries to set filter to every evsels linked in
the evlist. However, since filters can only be applied to tracepoints,
checking type of evsel before calling perf_evsel__set_filter() would be
better.
