Subject: [ 46/74] arm64: perf: fix event validation for software group leaders

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@....com>

commit ee7538a008a45050c8f706d38b600f55953169f9 upstream.

This is a port of c95eb3184ea1 ("ARM: 7809/1: perf: fix event validation
for software group leaders") to arm64, which fixes a panic in the arm64
perf backend found as a result of Vince's fuzzing tool.
