perf/aux: Fix the aux_output group inheritance fix

Commit

  f733c6b508bc ("perf/core: Fix inheritance of aux_output groups")

adds a NULL pointer dereference in case inherit_group() races with
perf_release(), which causes the below crash:

Fix this by skipping over events that are getting closed, in the
inheritance path.
