[[PATCH v6 06/10] perf: Invert perf_read_group() loops

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In order to enable the use of perf_event_read(.group = true), we need
to invert the sibling-child loop nesting of perf_read_group().

Currently we iterate the child list for each sibling, this precludes
using group reads. Flip things around so we iterate each group for
each child.

Changes to Peter's patch:
	- Add GFP_KERNEL to kzalloc().
	- Pass in address of counter to atomic_read().
	- Return event->size rather than leader->size (perf_read_group())
	- Keep chkpatch happy.
