Subject: [PATCH] perf stat: Clear evsel->reset_group for each stat run
If a weak group is broken then the reset_group flag remains set for
the next run. Having reset_group set means the counter isn't created
and ultimately a segfault.
A simple reproduction of this is:
# perf stat -r2 -e '{cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles}:W
which will be added as a test in the next patch.
Fixes: 4804e0111662d7d8 ("perf stat: Use affinity for opening events")
