Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix group moving
Matt found we trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in perf_group_attach() when we take
the move_group path in perf_event_open().
Since we cannot de-construct the group (we rely on it to move the events), we
have to simply ignore the double attach. The group state is context invariant
and doesn't need changing.
