description
===========
When processing the perf data file generated with multiple events,
the flamegraph script will count all the events regardless of
different event names.

This patch tries to add a -e option to specify the event name that
the flamegraph will be generated accordingly. If the -e option omitted,
the behavior remains unchanged.
