Subject: [PATCH 3.2 133/149] perf: Fix perf_cgroup_switch for sw-events

3.2.52-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>

commit 95cf59ea72331d0093010543b8951bb43f262cac upstream.

Jiri reported that he could trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
perf_cgroup_switch() using sw-events. This is because sw-events share
a cpuctx with multiple PMUs.

Use the ->unique_pmu pointer to limit the pmu iteration to unique
cpuctx instances.
