[PATCH RFV v2 03/13] perf/core: Add function perf_event_group_leader_check()

[Dapeng Mi]

Extract the group leader checking code in function sys_perf_event_open()
to create a new function perf_event_group_leader_check().

The subsequent change would add a new function
perf_event_create_group_kernel_counters() which is used to create group
events in kernel space. The function also needs to do same check for group
leader event just like function sys_perf_event_open() does. So extract
the checking code into a separate function and avoid the code
duplication.
