[ Upstream commit 54b353a20c7e8be98414754f5aff98c8a68fcc1f ]

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>      context-switches                 /
       <not counted>      cpu-migrations                   /
       <not counted>      page-faults                      /

       <not counted>      branches                         /
       <not counted>      branch-misses                    /

         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

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>
