[PATCH] perf, tools: Fix adding multiple event groups

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The -M metric group parser threw away the events of earlier
groups when multiple groups were specified. Fix this here
by not overwriting the string incorrectly.

Now this works correctly:

% perf stat -M Summary,SMT --metric-only -a sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

Instructions         CPI                  CLKS                 CPU_Utilization      GFLOPs               SMT_2T_Utilization   SMT_2T_Utilization   Kernel_Utilization   CoreIPC              CORE_CLKS
900907376.0              2.7            2398954144.0             0.1                 0.0                 0.2                 0.2                 0.1                 0.4            2080822855.5

while previously it would only show the SMT metrics.
