perf: Change close() semantics for group events
In order to always call list_del_event() on the correct cpu if the event is part of an active context and avoid having to do two IPIs, change the close() semantics slightly. The current perf_event_disable() call would disable a whole group if the event that's being closed is the group leader, whereas the new code keeps the group siblings enabled. People should not rely on this behaviour and I don't think they do, but in case we find they do, the fix is easy and we have to take the double IPI cost.
