4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit e8fedff1cc729fd227924305152ccc6f580e8c83 ]
Stephan reported, that pipe mode does not carry the group information
and thus the piped report won't display the grouped output for following
command:
# perf record -e '{cycles,instructions,branches}' -a sleep 4 | perf report
It has no idea about the group setup, so it will display events
separately:
# Overhead Command Shared Object ...
# ........ ............... .......................
#
6.71% swapper [kernel.kallsyms]
2.28% offlineimap libpython2.7.so.1.0
0.78% perf [kernel.kallsyms]
...
Fix GROUP_DESC feature record to be synthesized in pipe mode, so the
report output is grouped if there are groups defined in record:
# Overhead Command Shared ...
# ........................ ............... .......
#
7.57% 0.16% 0.30% swapper [kernel
1.87% 3.15% 2.46% offlineimap libpyth
1.33% 0.00% 0.00% perf [kernel
...
