Perf metric (topdown) events on Intel Icelake+ machines require a
group, however, they may be next to events that don't require a group.
Consider:
cycles,slots,topdown-fe-bound
The cycles event needn't be grouped but slots and topdown-fe-bound need
grouping.
Prior to this change, as slots and topdown-fe-bound need a group forcing
and all events share the same PMU, slots and topdown-fe-bound would be
forced into a group with cycles.
This is a bug on two fronts, cycles wasn't supposed to be grouped and
cycles can't be a group leader with a perf metric event.
This change adds recognition that cycles isn't force grouped and so it
shouldn't be force grouped with slots and topdown-fe-bound.
Fixes: a90cc5a9ee ("perf evsel: Don't let evsel__group_pmu_name() traverse unsorted group")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
