perf: Skip pmu_ctx based on event_type

Browse source

To optimize the cgroup context switch, the perf_event_pmu_context
iteration skips the PMUs without cgroup events. A bool cgroup was
introduced to indicate the case. It can work, but this way is hard to
extend for other cases, e.g. skipping non-mediated PMUs. It doesn't
make sense to keep adding bool variables.

Pass the event_type instead of the specific bool variable. Check both
the event_type and related pmu_ctx variables to decide whether skipping
a PMU.

Event flags, e.g., EVENT_CGROUP, should be cleard in the ctx->is_active.
Add EVENT_FLAGS to indicate such event flags.

No functional change.
