perf bpf-filter: Fix a parsing error with comma

The previous change to support cgroup filters introduced a bug that
pathname can include commas.  It confused the lexer to treat an item and
the trailing comma as a single token.  And it resulted in a parse error:

  $ sudo perf record -e cycles:P --filter 'period > 0, ip > 64' -- true
  perf_bpf_filter: Error: Unexpected item: 0,
  perf_bpf_filter: syntax error, unexpected BFT_ERROR, expecting BFT_NUM

   Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

          --filter <filter>
                            event filter

It should get "0" and "," separately.

An easiest fix would be to remove "," from the possible pathname
characters.  As it's for cgroup names, probably ok to assume it won't
have commas in the pathname.

I found that the existing BPF filtering test didn't have any complex
filter condition with commas.  Let's update the group filter test which
is supposed to test filter combinations like this.
