For PEBS output to Intel PT, a Intel PT event should be the group
leader of an PEBS counter event in host. For Intel PT
virtualization enabling in KVM guest, the PT facilities will be
passthrough to guest and do not allocate PT event from host perf
event framework. This is different with PMU virtualization.
Intel new hardware feature that can make PEBS enabled in KVM guest
by output PEBS records to Intel PT buffer. KVM need to allocate
a event counter for this PEBS event without Intel PT event leader.
This patch add event owner check for PEBS output to PT event that
only non-kernel event need group leader(PT).
