[ Upstream commit 9e5b127d6f33468143d90c8a45ca12410e4c3fa7 ]

Mark reported his arm64 perf fuzzer runs sometimes splat like:

  armv8pmu_read_counter+0x1e8/0x2d8
  armpmu_event_update+0x8c/0x188
  armpmu_read+0xc/0x18
  perf_output_read+0x550/0x11e8
  perf_event_read_event+0x1d0/0x248
  perf_event_exit_task+0x468/0xbb8
  do_exit+0x690/0x1310
  do_group_exit+0xd0/0x2b0
  get_signal+0x2e8/0x17a8
  do_signal+0x144/0x4f8
  do_notify_resume+0x148/0x1e8
  work_pending+0x8/0x14

which asserts that we only call pmu::read() on ACTIVE events.

The above callchain does:

  perf_event_exit_task()
    perf_event_exit_task_context()
      task_ctx_sched_out() // INACTIVE
      perf_event_exit_event()
        perf_event_set_state(EXIT) // EXIT
        sync_child_event()
          perf_event_read_event()
            perf_output_read()
              perf_output_read_group()
                leader->pmu->read()

Which results in doing a pmu::read() on an !ACTIVE event.

I _think_ this is 'new' since we added attr.inherit_stat, which added
the perf_event_read_event() to the exit path, without that
perf_event_read_output() would only trigger from samples and for
@event to trigger a sample, it's leader _must_ be ACTIVE too.

Still, adding this check makes it consistent with the @sub case for
the siblings.
