[PATCH v3 3/3] perf tools: Add 'cgroup-switches' software event

[Namhyung Kim]

It counts how often cgroups are changed actually during the context
switches.

  # perf stat -a -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -a sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

              11,267      context-switches
              10,950      cgroup-switches

         1.015634369 seconds time elapsed
