Subject: [PATCH 02/19] perf/hisilicon: Fix group validation

The group validation logic shared by the HiSilicon HNS3/PCIe drivers is
a bit off, in that given a software group leader, it will consider that
event *in place of* the actual new event being opened. At worst this
could theoretically allow an unschedulable group if the software event
config happens to look like one of the hardware siblings.

The uncore framework avoids that particular issue, but all 3 also share
the common issue of not preventing racy access to the sibling list, and
some redundant checks which can be cleaned up.
