[PATCH 4.19 01/67] perf/core: Fix endless multiplex timer

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 90c91dfb86d0ff545bd329d3ddd72c147e2ae198 upstream.

Kan and Andi reported that we fail to kill rotation when the flexible
events go empty, but the context does not. XXX moar

Fixes: fd7d55172d1e ("perf/cgroups: Don't rotate events for cgroups unnecessarily")
Reported-by: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Reported-by: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Tested-by: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
