When the evlist is expanded the metric leader wasn't being updated. As the original evsel is deleted this creates a use-after-free in stat-shadow's prepare_metric. This was detected running the "perf stat --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup test" with sanitizers. The change itself puts the copied evsel into the priv field (known unused because of evsel__clone use) and then in a second pass over the list updates the copied values using the priv pointer.
