perf/core: Do not set cpuctx->cgrp for unscheduled cgroups
Commit:
  db4a835601b7 ("perf/core: Set cgroup in CPU contexts for new cgroup events")
failed to verify that event->cgrp is actually the scheduled cgroup
in a CPU before setting cpuctx->cgrp. This patch fixes that.
Now that there is a different path for scheduled and unscheduled
cgroup, add a warning to catch when cpuctx->cgrp is still set after
the last cgroup event has been unsheduled.
To verify the bug:
  # Create 2 cgroups.
  mkdir /dev/cgroups/devices/g1
  mkdir /dev/cgroups/devices/g2
  # launch a task, bind it to a cpu and move it to g1
  CPU=2
  while :; do : ; done &
  P=$!
  taskset -pc $CPU $P
  echo $P > /dev/cgroups/devices/g1/tasks
  # monitor g2 (it runs no tasks) and observe output
  perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -C $CPU -G g2
  #           time             counts unit events
     1.000091408          7,579,527      cycles                    g2
     2.000350111      <not counted>      cycles                    g2
     3.000589181      <not counted>      cycles                    g2
     4.000771428      <not counted>      cycles                    g2
  # note first line that displays that a task run in g2, despite
  # g2 having no tasks. This is because cpuctx->cgrp was wrongly
  # set when context of new event was installed.
  # After applying the fix we obtain the right output:
  perf stat -e cycles -I 1000 -C $CPU -G g2
  #           time             counts unit events
     1.000119615      <not counted>      cycles                    g2
     2.000389430      <not counted>      cycles                    g2
     3.000590962      <not counted>      cycles                    g2
