perf metric: Only add a referenced metric once

If a metric references other metrics then the same other metrics may be
referenced more than once, but the events and metric ref are only needed
once.

An example of this is in tests/parse-metric.c where DCache_L2_Hits
references the metric DCache_L2_All_Hits twice, once directly and once
through DCache_L2_All.
