[PATCH] cgroup, perf_event: Fix perf cgroup hierarchy support

[Tejun Heo]

864c2357ca89 ("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.
