PATCH v3 1/1 perf/core: Fix installing cgroup event into cpu

From: "leilei.lin" <[email protected]>

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.

---
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
