Subject: [PATCH 1/9] perf: Remove redundant parent context check from context_equiv

As described in commit:
  1f9a7268c67f perf: Do not allow optimized switch for non-cloned events
we dont allow optimized switch for non cloned contexts.

There's no need now to check if one of the context is parent
of the other in context_equiv function.
