perf record: Don't clear event's period if set by a term



If events in a group explicitly set a frequency or period with leader
sampling, don't disable the samples on those events.

Prior to 5.8:

  perf record -e '{cycles/period=12345000/,instructions/period=6789000/}:S'

would clear the attributes then apply the config terms. In commit
5f342788 leader sampling configuration was moved to after applying the
config terms, in the example, making the instructions' event have its period
cleared.

This change makes it so that sampling is only disabled if configuration
terms aren't present.

Committer testing:

Before:

  # perf record -e '{cycles/period=1/,instructions/period=2/}:S' sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.051 MB perf.data (6 samples) ]
  #
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles/period=1/: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|READ|ID, read_format: ID|GROUP, disabled: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1
  instructions/period=2/: size: 120, config: 0x1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|READ|ID, read_format: ID|GROUP, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
  #

After:

  # perf record -e '{cycles/period=1/,instructions/period=2/}:S' sleep 0.0001
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.052 MB perf.data (4 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles/period=1/: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|READ|ID, read_format: ID|GROUP, disabled: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1
  instructions/period=2/: size: 120, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 2, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|READ|ID, read_format: ID|GROUP, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
