perf_events: Fix stale ->cgrp pointer in update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx()

This patch solves a stale pointer problem in
update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx(). The cpuctx->cgrp
was not cleared on all possible event exit paths,
including:

   close()
     perf_release()
       perf_release_kernel()
         list_del_event()

This patch fixes list_del_event() to clear cpuctx->cgrp
when there are no cgroup events left in the context.

[ This second version makes the code compile when
  CONFIG_CGROUP_PERF is not enabled. We unconditionally define
  perf_cpu_context->cgrp. ]
