Subject[PATCH v2] perf: update perf_cgroup time for ancestor cgroup(s)
Date
When a perf_event is attached to parent cgroup, it should count events
for all children cgroups:

parent_group <---- perf_event
\
- child_group <---- process(es)

However, in our tests, we found this perf_event cannot report reliable
results. Here is an example case:

# create cgroups
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/p/c
# start perf for parent group
perf stat -e instructions -G "p"

# on another console, run test process in child cgroup:
stressapptest -s 2 -M 1000 & echo $! > /sys/fs/cgroup/p/c/cgroup.procs

# after the test process is done, stop perf in the first console shows

<not counted> instructions p

The instruction should not be "not counted" as the process runs in the
child cgroup.

We found this is because perf_event->cgrp and cpuctx->cgrp are not
identical, thus perf_event->cgrp are not updated properly.

This patch fixes this by updating perf_cgroup properly for ancestor
cgroup(s).
