Subject: [PATCH -stable 4.1 1/2] perf: Restructure perf syscall point of no return

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

[ Upstream commit f55fc2a57cc9ca3b1bb4fb8eb25b6e1989e5b993 ]

The exclusive_event_installable() stuff only works because its
exclusive with the grouping bits.

Rework the code such that there is a sane place to error out before we
go do things we cannot undo.

CVE 2017-6001
