Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] perf: Enable applicable siblings when group leader is enable-on-exec

Currently, when grouped events are created disabled and enable-on-exec, the
siblings won't be enabled on exec in fact. The problem looks like this:

======================================================================
-sh-4.0# perf stat -g -e r14,cycles,instructions,r12 find / >/dev/null
^Cfind: Interrupt

 Performance counter stats for 'find /':

          60684699 r14
     <not counted> cycles
     <not counted> instructions
     <not counted> r12

       4.291975113 seconds time elapsed
======================================================================

This patch fixes it.
