Subject: perf_events: Fix broken event grouping
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d14b12d7adbf214f33eb59f800b5c3d5ed9268e8;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

perf_events: Fix broken event grouping

Events were not grouped anymore. The reason was that in
perf_event_open(), the field event->group_leader was
initialized before the function looked up the group_fd
to find the event leader. This patch fixes this by
reordering the code correctly.
