[PATCH v5] perf/core: Fix installing arbitrary cgroup event into cpu

[linxiulei]

From: "leilei.lin" <leilei.lin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Do not install cgroup event into the CPU context and schedule it
if the cgroup is not running on this CPU

While there is no task of cgroup running specified CPU, current
kernel still install cgroup event into CPU context that causes
another cgroup event can't be installed into this CPU.

This patch prevent scheduling events at __perf_install_in_context()
and installing events at list_update_cgroup_event() if cgroup isn't
running on specified CPU.

Signed-off-by: leilei.lin <leilei.lin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

 v2: Set cpuctx->cgrp only if the same cgroup is running on this
   CPU otherwise following events couldn't be activated immediately
 v3: Enhance the comments and commit message
 v4: Adjust to config
 v5: Clear cpuctx->cgrp only when no cgroup event exists
