Subject: [PATCH] perf/cgroup: Fix perf cgroup hierarchy support
The following commit:
864c2357ca89 ("perf/core: Do not set cpuctx->cgrp for unscheduled cgroups")
made list_update_cgroup_event() skip setting cpuctx->cgrp if no cgroup event
targets %current's cgroup.
This breaks perf_event's hierarchical support because events which target one
of the ancestors get ignored.
Fix it by using cgroup_is_descendant() test instead of equality.
