[PATCH v1 1/2] perf metrics: Fix metric matching

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

The metric match function fails for cases like looking for "metric" in
the string "all;foo_metric;metric" as the "metric" in "foo_metric"
matches but isn't preceeded by a ';'. Fix this by matching the first
list item and recursively matching on failure the next item after a
semicolon.
