perf evlist: Set the correct idx when adding dummy events
The evsel->idx field is used mainly to access the right bucket in per-event arrays such as the annotation ones, but also to set evsel->tracking, that in turn will decide what of the events will ask for PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,COMM,EXEC} to be generated, i.e. which perf_event_attr will have its mmap, etc fields set. When we were adding the "dummy" event using perf_evlist__add_dummy() we were not setting it correctly, which could result in multiple tracking events. Now that I'll try using a dummy event to be the tracking one when using 'perf record --delay', i.e. when we process the --delay setting we may already have the evlist set up, like with: perf record -e cycles,instructions --delay 1000 ./workload We will need to add a "dummy" event, then reset evsel->tracking for the first event, "cycles", and set it instead to the dummy one, and also setting its attr.enable_on_exec, so that we get the PERF_RECORD_MMAP, etc metadata events while waiting to enable the explicitely requested events, so lets get this straight and set the right evsel->idx.
