Subject: perf: Fix cgroup scheduling in perf_enable_on_exec()
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=70a0165752944e0be0b1de4a9020473079962c18;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

perf: Fix cgroup scheduling in perf_enable_on_exec()

There is a comment that states that perf_event_context_sched_in() will
also switch in the cgroup events, I cannot find it does so. Therefore
all the resulting logic goes out the window too.

Clean that up.
