Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] perf/core: Don't need event_filter_match when merge_sched_in()

There are two obselete comments in perf_cgroup_switch(), since
we don't use event_filter_match() when event_sched_out(). And
found we needn't to use event_filter_match() when sched_in too.

Because now we use the perf_event groups RB-tree to get the
exact matched perf_events, don't need to go through the
event_filter_match() to check if matched.

We can remove it in merge_sched_in() actually, but this patch
changes it to a WARN_ON_ONCE for debug purpose, and found
no warning in our stress test.
