perf parse-events: Set default GH modifier properly

Commit 7b100989b4f6bce7 ("perf evlist: Remove __evlist__add_default")
changed to use "cycles:P" as a default event.  But the problem is it
cannot set other default modifiers correctly.

perf kvm needs to set attr.exclude_host by default but it didn't work
because of the logic in the parse_events__modifier_list().  Also the
exclude_GH_default was applied only if ":u" modifier was specified -
which is strange.  Move it out after handling the ":GH" and check
perf_host and perf_guest properly.

Before:
  $ ./perf kvm record -vv true |& grep exclude
  (nothing)

But specifying an event (without a modifier) works:

  $ ./perf kvm record -vv -e cycles true |& grep exclude
    exclude_host                     1

After:
It now works for the both cases:

  $ ./perf kvm record -vv true |& grep exclude
    exclude_host                     1

  $ ./perf kvm record -vv -e cycles true |& grep exclude
    exclude_host                     1
