perf trace: Support setting cgroups as targets

One can set a cgroup as a default cgroup to be used by all events or
set cgroups with the 'perf stat' and 'perf record' behaviour, i.e.
'-G A' will be the cgroup for events defined so far in the command line.

Here in my main machine, with a kvm instance running a rhel6 guinea pig
I have:

# ls -la /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/ | grep drw
drwxr-xr-x. 14 root root 360 Mar 6 12:04 ..
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 0 Mar 6 15:05 machine.slice
#

So I can go ahead and use that cgroup hierarchy, say lets see what
syscalls are being emitted by threads in that 'machine.slice' hierarchy
that are taking more than 100ms:

# perf trace --duration 100 -G machine.slice
0.188 (249.850 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
250.274 (249.743 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
500.224 (249.755 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
750.097 (249.934 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
1000.244 (249.780 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
1250.197 (249.796 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
1500.124 (249.859 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
1750.076 (172.900 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
902.570 (1021.116 ms): qemu-system-x8/23667 ppoll(ufds: 0x558151e03180, nfds: 74, tsp: 0x7ffc00cd0900, sigsetsize: 8) = 1
1923.825 (305.133 ms): qemu-system-x8/23667 ppoll(ufds: 0x558151e03180, nfds: 74, tsp: 0x7ffc00cd0900, sigsetsize: 8) = 1
2000.172 (229.002 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
^C #

If we look inside that cgroup hierarchy we get:

# ls -la /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/machine.slice/ | grep drw
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 0 Mar 6 15:05 .
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Mar 6 16:16 machine-qemu\x2d2\x2drhel6.sandy.scope
#

There is just one, but lets say there were more and we would want to see
5 seconds worth of syscall summary for the threads in that cgroup:

# perf trace --summary -G machine.slice/machine-qemu\\x2d2\\x2drhel6.sandy.scope/ -a sleep 5

See the documentation about how to set more than one cgroup for
different events in the same command line.
