perf_event: Fix event group handling in __perf_event_sched_*()

Paul Mackerras says:

 "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)."

 [ See: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125361238901442&w=2 ]

And Peter Zijlstra points out this is a bugfix:

 "The intent was to call event_sched_{in,out}() for single event
  groups because that's cheaper than group_sched_{in,out}(),
  however..

  - as you noticed, I got the condition wrong, it should have read:

      list_empty(&event->sibling_list)

  - it failed to call group_can_go_on() which deals with ->exclusive.

  - it also doesn't call hw_perf_group_sched_in() which might break
    power."

 [ See: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125369523318583&w=2 ]

Changelog v1->v2:

 - Fix the title name according to Peter Zijlstra's suggestion

 - Remove the comments and WARN_ON_ONCE() as Peter Zijlstra's
   suggestion
