perf/core: Fix WARN in perf_cgroup_switch()

There may be concurrency between perf_cgroup_switch and
perf_cgroup_event_disable. Consider the following scenario: after a new
perf cgroup event is created on CPU0, the new event may not trigger
a reprogramming, causing ctx->is_active to be 0. In this case, when CPU1
disables this perf event, it executes __perf_remove_from_context->
list _del_event->perf_cgroup_event_disable on CPU1, which causes a race
with perf_cgroup_switch running on CPU0.

The following describes the details of this concurrency scenario:

CPU0						CPU1

perf_cgroup_switch:
   ...
   # cpuctx->cgrp is not NULL here
   if (READ_ONCE(cpuctx->cgrp) == NULL)
   	return;

						perf_remove_from_context:
						   ...
						   raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock);
						   ...
						   # ctx->is_active == 0 because reprogramm is not
						   # tigger, so CPU1 can do __perf_remove_from_context
						   # for CPU0
						   __perf_remove_from_context:
						         perf_cgroup_event_disable:
							    ...
							    if (--ctx->nr_cgroups)
							    ...

   # this warning will happened because CPU1 changed
   # ctx.nr_cgroups to 0.
   WARN_ON_ONCE(cpuctx->ctx.nr_cgroups == 0);
