It seems we should add this too:
Fixes: 9ea42ba4411ac ("perf trace: Support setting cgroups as targets")

Just make it simple and clear what parse_cgroups() expects:

        struct option o = {
                .value = &trace->evlist,
        };

Or else, we can change parse_cgroups() to take evlist directly.
But it needs to change other callsites too.

Either is fine to me.

Thanks
