Subject: [PATCH] perf/core: Fix cgroup events tracking
We encounter perf warnings when using cgroup events like:
```
cd /sys/fs/cgroup
mkdir test
perf stat -e cycles -a -G test
```

The above two warnings are not complete here since I remove other
unimportant information. The problem is caused by the perf cgroup
events tracking:
CPU0 CPU1
perf_event_open()
perf_event_alloc()
account_event()
account_event_cpu()
atomic_inc(perf_cgroup_events)
__perf_event_task_sched_out()
if (atomic_read(perf_cgroup_events))
perf_cgroup_switch()
// kernel/events/core.c:849
WARN_ON_ONCE(cpuctx->ctx.nr_cgroups == 0)
if (READ_ONCE(cpuctx->cgrp) == cgrp) // false
return
perf_ctx_lock()
ctx_sched_out()
cpuctx->cgrp = cgrp
ctx_sched_in()
perf_cgroup_set_timestamp()
// kernel/events/core.c:829
WARN_ON_ONCE(!ctx->nr_cgroups)
perf_ctx_unlock()
perf_install_in_context()
add_event_to_ctx()
list_add_event()
perf_cgroup_event_enable()
ctx->nr_cgroups++
cpuctx->cgrp = X
We can see from above that we wrongly use percpu atomic perf_cgroup_events
to check if we need to perf_cgroup_switch(), which should only be used
when we know this CPU has cgroup events enabled.
The commit bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling") change
to have only one context per-CPU, so we can just use cpuctx->cgrp to
check if this CPU has cgroup events enabled.
So percpu atomic perf_cgroup_events is not needed.
