[RFC PATCH v2 14/17] perf stat: Handle NMI in hardware-grouping

[weilin.wang@intel.com]

From: Weilin Wang <weilin.wang@intel.com>

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.
