perf: make perf_event cgroup hierarchical
perf_event is one of a couple remaining cgroup controllers with broken hierarchy support. Converting it to support hierarchy is almost trivial. The only thing necessary is to consider a task belonging to a descendant cgroup as a match. IOW, if the cgroup of the currently executing task (@cpuctx->cgrp) equals or is a descendant of the event's cgroup (@event->cgrp), then the event should be enabled. Implement hierarchy support and remove .broken_hierarchy tag along with the incorrect comment on what needs to be done for hierarchy support.
