perf_evsel__append_filter() already parameterizes the conjunction.  Perhaps it
should parameterize the format, then there is only one function e.g.

int perf_evsel__append_filter(struct perf_evsel *evsel,
			      const char *fmt, const char *filter)
{
	char *new_filter;

	if (evsel->filter == NULL)
		return perf_evsel__set_filter(evsel, filter);

	if (asprintf(&new_filter, fmt, evsel->filter, filter) > 0) {
		free(evsel->filter);
		evsel->filter = new_filter;
		return 0;
	}

	return -1;
}
