[RFC PATCH v9 5/7] perf stat: Add command line option for enabling tpebs recording

[weilin . wang]

From: Weilin Wang <weilin.wang@xxxxxxxxx>

With this command line option, tpebs recording is turned off in perf stat on
default. It will only be turned on when this option is given in perf stat
command.
