Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Fix out of bounds access on array fd when cnt is 100 in one of the
  'perf test' entries, detected using 'cpptest' (Colin Ian King)

- Add support for the forced leader feature, i.e. 'perf report --group'

  e.g.:

    $ perf record -e cycles,instructions -o - kill | perf report --group -i -

- Use right type to access array elements in 'perf probe' (Masami Hiramatsu)
