perf stat: Avoid segfaults caused by negated options

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit 51433ead1460fb3f46e1c34f68bb22fd2dd0f5d0 ]

Some 'perf stat' options do not make sense to be negated (event,
cgroup), some do not have negated path implemented (metrics). Due to
that, it is better to disable the "no-" prefix for them, since
otherwise, the later opt-parsing segfaults.

Before:

  $ perf stat --no-metrics -- ls
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

After:

  $ perf stat --no-metrics -- ls
   Error: option `no-metrics' isn't available
   Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]
