Please don't paper over problems like this.  The idea of verifying the
fetchgroup APIs with event metrics before merging is to uncover issues just
like this one, so they can be considered and tackled properly before anything
is cast in stone and it becomes too late.

Convert the existing src/libpcp/src/event.c register_event_metrics() function
into an exported API that can be called at the most convenient time for any/all
situations.  Then update the fetchgroups series accordingly.
