perf top: Allow filters on events

Allow filters to be added to perf top events. One use is to workaround
issues with:
```
$ perf top --uid="$(id -u)"
```
which tries to scan /proc find processes belonging to the uid and can
fail in such a pid terminates between the scan and the
perf_event_open reporting:
```
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 3 (No such process) for event (cycles:P).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.
```
A similar filter:
```
$ perf top -e cycles:P --filter "uid == $(id -u)"
```
doesn't fail this way.
