From: Stefan Raspl <stefan.raspl@xxxxxxxxxx> Commit 67fbcd62f54d ("tools/kvm_stat: add '-f help' to get the available event list") added support for '-f help'. However, the extra handling of 'help' will also take effect when 'help' is specified as a regex in interactive mode via 'f'. This results in display of all events while only those matching this regex should be shown.
