intel-pt tests were failing:
```
...
--- Test virtual LBR ---
Linux
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.126 MB /tmp/perf-test-intel-pt-sh.FW57CXnCqQ/test-perf.data ]
Failed with virtual lbr
...
```
The root cause is an out-of-bounds read in header (where maxbrstack.py
is from test_intel_pt.sh):
```
$ perf --no-pager script --itrace=L -s maxbrstack.py

Avoid the out-of-bounds read checking for the leader. Leave the 'nr'
check intact as nr will be 0 or the counting down and evsel be a group
member.
