perf: Fix exit() vs PERF_FORMAT_GROUP
Both Stephane and Corey reported that PERF_FORMAT_GROUP didn't work as expected if the task the counters were attached to quit before the read() call. The cause is that we unconditionally destroy the grouping when we remove counters from their context. Fix this by splitting off the group destroy from the list removal such that perf_event_remove_from_context() does not do this and change perf_event_release() to do so.
