perf/cgroup: Fix perf cgroup hierarchy support
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The following commit:

  864c235 ("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.
