Peter Zijlstra 3df5edad87 perf_counter: rework ioctl()s
Corey noticed that ioctl()s on grouped counters didn't work on
the whole group. This extends the ioctl() interface to take a
second argument that is interpreted as a flags field. We then
provide PERF_IOC_FLAG_GROUP to toggle the behaviour.

Having this flag gives the greatest flexibility, allowing you
to individually enable/disable/reset counters in a group, or
all together.

[ Impact: fix group counter enable/disable semantics ]
