Mark Rutland 545d55a3e0 perf: Fix perf_event_validate_size() lockdep splat 
commit 7e2c1e4b34 upstream.

When lockdep is enabled, the for_each_sibling_event(sibling, event)
macro checks that event->ctx->mutex is held. When creating a new group
leader event, we call perf_event_validate_size() on a partially
initialized event where event->ctx is NULL, and so when
for_each_sibling_event() attempts to check event->ctx->mutex, we get a
splat, as reported by Lucas De Marchi:

  WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 1471 at kernel/events/core.c:1950 __do_sys_perf_event_open+0xf37/0x1080

This only happens for a new event which is its own group_leader, and in
this case there cannot be any sibling events. Thus it's safe to skip the
check for siblings, which avoids having to make invasive and ugly
changes to for_each_sibling_event().

Avoid the splat by bailing out early when the new event is its own
group_leader.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
