From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

commit 90c91dfb86d0ff545bd329d3ddd72c147e2ae198 upstream.

Kan and Andi reported that we fail to kill rotation when the flexible
events go empty, but the context does not. XXX moar

Fixes: fd7d55172d1e ("perf/cgroups: Don't rotate events for cgroups unnecessarily")
