Subject[PATCH 5/7] perf stat: Create events as disabled
Date
Currently we have 2 kinds of stat counters based on
when the event is enabled:
1) tracee command events, which are enable once the
tracee executes exec syscall (enable_on_exec bit)
2) all other events which get alive within the
perf_event_open syscall

Ad 2) case could raise a problem in case we want additional
filter to be attached for event. In this case we want the
event to be enabled after it's configured with filter.

Changing the behaviour of ad 2) events, so they all are
created as disabled (disabled bit). Adding extra enable
call to make them alive once they finish setup.
