perf report: Fix the output for stdio events list

Changing the output header for reporting forced groups via --groups
option on non grouped events, like:

  $ perf record -e 'cycles,instructions'
  $ perf report --stdio --group

Before:

  # Samples: 24  of event 'anon group { cycles:u, instructions:u }'

After:

  # Samples: 24  of events 'cycles:u, instructions:u'
