RE: Fix "perf tools: Synthesize GROUP_DESC feature in pipe mode" in the LT 4.14 branch

[Greensky, James J]

This commit does not apply cleanly due to other changes. Is there something I can do to make it easier.

This line:
	If (data->is_pipe)  {
Must be changed to:
	If (file->is_pipe) {

Let me know if there is a more standard way of communicating cherry-picked changes for inclusion.
