perf_event: Fix cgrp event scheduling bug in perf_enable_on_exec()
There is a bug in perf_event_enable_on_exec() when cgroup events are
active on a CPU: the cgroup events may be scheduled twice causing event
state corruptions which eventually may lead to kernel panics.
The reason is that the function needs to first schedule out the cgroup
events, just like for the per-thread events. The cgroup event are
scheduled back in automatically from the perf_event_context_sched_in()
function.
The patch also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() is perf_cgroup_switch() to catch any
bogus state.
