perf/core: Fix exclusive events' grouping
So far, we tried to disallow grouping exclusive events for the fear of
complications they would cause with moving between contexts. Specifically,
moving a software group to a hardware context would violate the exclusivity
rules if both groups contain matching exclusive events.
This attempt was, however, unsuccessful: the check that we have in the
perf_event_open() syscall is both wrong (looks at wrong PMU) and
insufficient (group leader may still be exclusive), as can be illustrated
by running:
$ perf record -e '{intel_pt//,cycles}' uname
$ perf record -e '{cycles,intel_pt//}' uname
ultimately successfully.
Furthermore, we are completely free to trigger the exclusivity violation
by:
perf -e '{cycles,intel_pt//}' -e '{intel_pt//,instructions}'
even though the helpful perf record will not allow that, the ABI will.
The warning later in the perf_event_open() path will also not trigger, because
it's also wrong.
Fix all this by validating the original group before moving, getting rid
of broken safeguards and placing a useful one to perf_install_in_context().
