perf stat: Skip duration_time in setup_system_wide

Some metrics (such as DRAM_BW_Use) consists of uncore events and
duration_time. For uncore events, counter->core.system_wide is true. But
for duration_time, counter->core.system_wide is false so
target.system_wide is set to false.

Then 'enable_on_exec' is set in perf_event_attr of uncore event. Kernel
will return error when trying to open the uncore event.

This patch skips the duration_time in setup_system_wide then
target.system_wide will be set to true for the evlist of uncore events +
duration_time.

Before (tested on skylake desktop):

# perf stat -M DRAM_BW_Use -- sleep 1
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

After:

# perf stat -M DRAM_BW_Use -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

169 arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/ # 0.00 DRAM_BW_Use
40,427 arb/event=0x81,umask=0x1/
1,000,902,197 ns duration_time

1.000902197 seconds time elapsed
