perf: don't leave group_entry on sibling list (use-after-free)android-6.0.1_r0.136android-6.0.1_r0.135
When perf_group_detach is called on a group leader, it should empty its sibling list. Otherwise, when a sibling is later deallocated, list_del_event() removes the sibling's group_entry from its current list, which can be the now-deallocated group leader's sibling list (use-after-free bug).
