perf_events: Fix races in group composition
Group siblings don't pin each-other or the parent, so when we destroy
events we must make sure to clean up all cross referencing pointers.
In particular, for destruction of a group leader we must be able to
find all its siblings and remove their reference to it.
This means that detaching an event from its context must not detach it
from the group, otherwise we can end up failing to clear all pointers.
Solve this by clearly separating the attachment to a context and
attachment to a group, and keep the group composed until we destroy
the events.
