perf_event: Fix event group handling in __perf_event_sched_*()
Paul Mackerras says:
 "Actually, looking at this more closely, it has to be a group
 leader anyway since it's at the top level of ctx->group_list.  In
 fact I see four places where we do:
  list_for_each_entry(event, &ctx->group_list, group_entry) {
	if (event == event->group_leader)
		...
 or the equivalent, three of which appear to have been introduced
 by afedadf2 ("perf_counter: Optimize sched in/out of counters")
 back in May by Peter Z.
 As far as I can see the if () is superfluous in each case (a
 singleton event will be a group of 1 and will have its
 group_leader pointing to itself)."
 [ See: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125361238901442&w=2 ]
And Peter Zijlstra points out this is a bugfix:
 "The intent was to call event_sched_{in,out}() for single event
  groups because that's cheaper than group_sched_{in,out}(),
  however..
  - as you noticed, I got the condition wrong, it should have read:
      list_empty(&event->sibling_list)
  - it failed to call group_can_go_on() which deals with ->exclusive.
  - it also doesn't call hw_perf_group_sched_in() which might break
    power."

Changelog v1->v2:
 - Fix the title name according to Peter Zijlstra's suggestion
 - Remove the comments and WARN_ON_ONCE() as Peter Zijlstra's
   suggestion
