perf cgroup: Make the cgroup name be const char *
The usual thing is for a constructor to allocate space for its members, not to require that the caller pass a pre-allocated 'name' and then, at its destructor, to free something not allocated by it. Fix it by making cgroup__new() to receive a const char pointer, then allocate cgroup->name that then can continue to be freed at cgroup__delete(), balancing the alloc/free operations inside the cgroup struct methods. This eases calling evlist__findnew_cgroup() from the custom 'perf trace' cgroup parser, that will only call parse_cgroups() when the '-G cgroup' is passed on the command line after '-e event' entries, when it'll behave just like 'perf stat' and 'perf record', i.e. the previous parse_cgroup() users that mandate that -G only can come after a -e.
