6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 68ca249c964f520af7f8763e22f12bd26b57b870 upstream.
As of now, bpf counters (bperf) don't support event groups. But the default perf stat includes topdown metrics if supported (on recent Intel machines) which require groups. That makes perf stat exiting.
$ sudo perf stat --bpf-counter true bpf managed perf events do not yet support groups.
Actually the test explicitly uses cycles event only, but it missed to pass the option when it checks the availability of the command.
