perf: Fix perf_event_validate_size() lockdep splat
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.
