Ingo Molnar ea57c4f520 perf tools: Implement counter output multiplexing
Finish the -M/--multiplex option implementation:

 - separate it out from group_fd

 - correctly set it via the ioctl and dont mmap counters that
   are multiplexed

 - modify the perf record event loop to deal with buffer-less
   counters.

 - remove the -g option from perf sched record

 - account for unordered events in perf sched latency

 - (add -f to perf sched record to ease measurements)

 - skip idle threads (pid==0) in latency output

The result is better latency output by 'perf sched latency':
