perf: Fix tear-down of inherited group events
[ upstream commit 38b435b16c36b0d863efcf3f07b34a6fac9873fd ] When destroying inherited events, we need to destroy groups too, otherwise the event iteration in perf_event_exit_task_context() will miss group siblings and we leak events with all the consequences.
