perf_events: Fix broken event grouping
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Events were not grouped anymore. The reason was that in
perf_event_open(), the field event->group_leader was
initialized before the function looked up the group_fd
to find the event leader. This patch fixes this by
reordering the code correctly.
