Some metric groups have metrics that don't have fully overlapping events, meaning that the group's events become unique event groups that may need to multiplex with each other. This can be particularly unfortunate when the groups wouldn't need to multiplex because there are sufficient hardware counters. Add a flag so that if recording a metric group then the metrics within the group needn't use groups for their events. The flag is added to Intel TopdownL1 and TopdownL2 metrics.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
