[ Upstream commit d98079c05b5a5411c6030c47b6256cbeeeff77d0 ]
On Intel Icelake, topdown events must always be grouped with a slots event as leader. When a metric is parsed a weak group is formed and retried if perf_event_open fails. The retried events aren't grouped breaking the slots leader requirement. This change modifies the weak group "reset" behavior so that topdown events aren't broken from the group for the retry.
