Subject: [PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 61/86] perf: Fix inherited events vs. tracepoint filters

3.13.11-ckt31 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

commit b71b437eedaed985062492565d9d421d975ae845 upstream.

Arnaldo reported that tracepoint filters seem to misbehave (ie. not
apply) on inherited events.

The fix is obvious; filters are only set on the actual (parent)
event, use the normal pattern of using this parent event for filters.
This is safe because each child event has a reference to it.
