[PATCH 04/10] perf stat: Add --exclude-guest option
From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Thu Sep 05 2024 - 16:25:13 EST
This option is to support the old behavior of setting exclude_guest by
default. Now it doesn't set the bit so users want the old behavior can
use this option.

+Don't count event in the guest mode. It was the old behavior but the
