Subject[PATCH] perf: Fix tear-down of inherited group events

Subject: perf: Fix tear-down of inherited group events
From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
Date: Tue Mar 15 14:37:10 CET 2011

When destroying inherited events, we need to destroy groups too,
otherwise the event iteration in perf_event_exit_task_context() will
miss group siblings and we leak events with all the consequences.
