perf: Fix race in removing an event

When removing a (sibling) event we do:

	raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock);
	perf_group_detach(event);
	raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock);

	<hole>

	perf_remove_from_context(event);
		raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock);
		...
		raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock);

Now, assuming the event is a sibling, it will be 'unreachable' for
things like ctx_sched_out() because that iterates the
groups->siblings, and we just unhooked the sibling.

So, if during <hole> we get ctx_sched_out(), it will miss the event
and not call event_sched_out() on it, leaving it programmed on the
PMU.

The subsequent perf_remove_from_context() call will find the ctx is
inactive and only call list_del_event() to remove the event from all
other lists.

Hereafter we can proceed to free the event; while still programmed!

Close this hole by moving perf_group_detach() inside the same
ctx->lock region(s) perf_remove_from_context() has.

The condition on inherited events only in __perf_event_exit_task() is
likely complete crap because non-inherited events are part of groups
too and we're tearing down just the same. But leave that for another
patch.
