perf probe: Add group name support

Browse source

Allow user to set group name for adding new event.  Note that user must
ensure that the group name doesn't conflict with existing group name
carefully.

E.g. Existing group name can conflict with other events.  Especially,
using the group name reserved for kernel modules can hide kernel
embedded events when loading modules.
