The --total-cycles may output wrong information with the --stdio.

For example:

  # perf record -e "{cycles,instructions}",cache-misses -b sleep 1
  # perf report --total-cycles --stdio

The total cycles output of {cycles,instructions} and cache-misses are
almost the same.

  # Samples: 938  of events 'anon group { cycles, instructions }'
  # Event count (approx.): 938

With the symbol_conf.event_group, the 'perf report' should only report the
block information of the leader event in a group.

However, the current implementation retrieves the next event's block
information, rather than the next group leader's block information.

Make sure the index is updated even if the event is skipped.

With the patch,

  # Samples: 293  of event 'cache-misses'
  # Event count (approx.): 293
  #
  # Sampled Cycles%  Sampled Cycles  Avg Cycles%  Avg Cycles  [Program Block Range]

           11.19%            2.6K        0.28%            21  [perf_iterate_ctx+48 -> >
            5.79%            1.4K        1.32%            97  [__intel_pmu_enable_all.constprop.0+80 -> __intel_>
