perf/core: Fix cgroup events tracking

Browse Source 
We encounter perf warnings when using cgroup events like:

  cd /sys/fs/cgroup
  mkdir test
  perf stat -e cycles -a -G test

Which then triggers:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 690 at kernel/events/core.c:849 perf_cgroup_switch+0xb2/0xc0
  Call Trace:

The above two warnings are not complete here since I remove other
unimportant information. The problem is caused by the perf cgroup
events tracking:

  CPU0					CPU1
  perf_event_open()
    perf_event_alloc()
      account_event()
	account_event_cpu()
	  atomic_inc(perf_cgroup_events)
					  __perf_event_task_sched_out()
					    if (atomic_read(perf_cgroup_events))
					      perf_cgroup_switch()
						// kernel/events/core.c:849
						WARN_ON_ONCE(cpuctx->ctx.nr_cgroups == 0)
						if (READ_ONCE(cpuctx->cgrp) == cgrp) // false
						  return
						perf_ctx_lock()
						ctx_sched_out()
						cpuctx->cgrp = cgrp
						ctx_sched_in()
						  perf_cgroup_set_timestamp()
						    // kernel/events/core.c:829
						    WARN_ON_ONCE(!ctx->nr_cgroups)
						perf_ctx_unlock()
    perf_install_in_context()
      cpu_function_call()
					  __perf_install_in_context()
					    add_event_to_ctx()
					      list_add_event()
						perf_cgroup_event_enable()
						  ctx->nr_cgroups++
						  cpuctx->cgrp = X

We can see from above that we wrongly use percpu atomic perf_cgroup_events
to check if we need to perf_cgroup_switch(), which should only be used
when we know this CPU has cgroup events enabled.

The commit bd27568117 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling") change
to have only one context per-CPU, so we can just use cpuctx->cgrp to
check if this CPU has cgroup events enabled.

So percpu atomic perf_cgroup_events is not needed.
