Subject: [RFC PATCH 18/25] perf stat: Handle NMI in hardware-grouping

From: Weilin Wang <[email protected]>

Add an easy nmi watchdog support in grouping. When nmi watchdog is enabled,
we reduce the total num of events could be assigned to one group by 1. A
more efficient solution will be added in later.
