[PATCH RFC v3 04/13] perf/core: Add function perf_event_move_group()

From: Dapeng Mi
Date: Tue Aug 22 2023 - 01:04:40 EST


Extract the group moving code in function sys_perf_event_open() to create
a new function perf_event_move_group().

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 group moving
for group leader event just like function sys_perf_event_open() does. So
extract the moving code into a separate function to avoid the code
duplication.
