Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf: Fix events installation during moving group

We allow PMU driver to change the cpu on which the event
should be installed to. This happened in patch:
  e2d37cd213dc perf: Allow the PMU driver to choose the CPU on which to install events

This patch also forces all the group members to follow
the currently opened events cpu if the group happened
to be moved.

This and the change of event->cpu in perf_install_in_context
function introduced in:
  0cda4c023132 perf: Introduce perf_pmu_migrate_context()

forces group members to change their event->cpu,
if the currently-opened-event's PMU changed the cpu
and there is a group move.

Above behaviour causes problem for breakpoint events,
which uses event->cpu to touch cpu specific data for
breakpoints accounting. By changing event->cpu, some
breakpoints slots were wrongly accounted for given
cpu.

Vinces's perf fuzzer hit this issue and caused following
WARN on my setup:

original cpus.
