perf tools: Force uncore events to system wide monitoring 

Make system wide (-a) the default option if no target was specified and
one of following conditions is met:

  - there's no workload specified (current behaviour)
  - there is workload specified but all requested
    events are system wide ones

Mixed events core/uncore with workload:

  $ perf stat -e 'uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/,cycles' sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

     <not supported>      uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/
             980,489      cycles

         1.000897406 seconds time elapsed

Uncore event with workload:

  $ perf stat -e 'uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/' sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

  281,473,897,192,670      uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/

         1.000833784 seconds time elapsed

Committer note:

When testing I realized the default case for !root, i.e. no events
passed via -e, was broke by v2 of this patch, reported and after a
patch provided by Jiri it is back working:

  [acme@jouet linux]$ perf stat usleep 1
