Actually, looking at this more closely, it has to be a group leader
anyway since it's at the top level of ctx->group_list.  In fact I see
four places where we do:

		list_for_each_entry(event, &ctx->group_list, group_entry) {
			if (event == event->group_leader)
				...

or the equivalent, three of which appear to have been introduced by
afedadf2 ("perf_counter: Optimize sched in/out of counters") back in
May by Peter Z.

As far as I can see the if () is superfluous in each case (a singleton
event will be a group of 1 and will have its group_leader pointing to
itself).  Peter, do you agree or have I missed something?
