perf stat: Fix handling of --for-each-cgroup with --bpf-counters to match non BPF mode

Browse Source 
The --for-each-cgroup can have the same cgroup multiple times, but this
confuses BPF counters (since they have the same cgroup id), making only
the last cgroup events to be counted.

Let's check the cgroup name before adding a new entry to the cgroups
list.

Before:

  $ sudo ./perf stat -a --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup /,/ sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       <not counted> msec cpu-clock                        /
       <not counted>      context-switches                 /
       <not counted>      cpu-migrations                   /
       <not counted>      page-faults                      /
       <not counted>      cycles                           /
       <not counted>      instructions                     /
       <not counted>      branches                         /
       <not counted>      branch-misses                    /
            8,016.04 msec cpu-clock                        /                #    7.998 CPUs utilized
               6,152      context-switches                 /                #  767.461 /sec
                 250      cpu-migrations                   /                #   31.187 /sec
                 442      page-faults                      /                #   55.139 /sec
         613,111,487      cycles                           /                #    0.076 GHz
         280,599,604      instructions                     /                #    0.46  insn per cycle
          57,692,724      branches                         /                #    7.197 M/sec
           3,385,168      branch-misses                    /                #    5.87% of all branches

         1.002220125 seconds time elapsed

After it becomes similar to the non-BPF mode:

  $ sudo ./perf stat -a --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup /,/  sleep 1

Committer notes:

As a reminder, to test with BPF counters one has to use BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1
in the make command line and have clang/llvm installed when building
perf, otherwise the --bpf-counters option will not be available:

  # perf stat -a --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup /,/ sleep 1
  Error: unknown option `bpf-counters'

   Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

      -a, --all-cpus        system-wide collection from all CPUs
  <SNIP>
