perf: Only dump the throttle log for the leader

The PERF_RECORD_THROTTLE records are dumped for all throttled events.
It's not necessary for group events, which are throttled altogether.

Optimize it by only dump the throttle log for the leader.

The sample right after the THROTTLE record must be generated by the
actual target event. It is good enough for the perf tool to locate the
actual target event.
