Yes, that's too much.

Hmm, change "!cpus_map_matched()" to "cpus_map_matched()"? and use for_each_group_evsel() to replace 
for_each_group_member()?

How about something like following?

void evlist__check_cpu_maps(struct evlist *evlist)
{
	struct evsel *evsel, *pos;

	evlist__for_each_entry(evlist, evsel) {
		if (evsel->leader == evsel)
			continue;

		if (cpu_maps_matched(evsel->leader, evsel))
			continue;

		pr_warning("WARNING: event cpu maps are not fully matched, "
			   "disable group\n");

		for_each_group_evsel(pos, evsel->leader) {
			pos->leader = pos;
			pos->core.nr_members = 0;
		}

		/*
		 * For core & uncore mixed event group, for example,
		 * '{cycles,unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_i}',
		 * In evlist:
		 * cycles,
		 * unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_i,
		 * unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_i,
		 * unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_i,
		 * unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_i,
		 *
		 * cycles is leader and all unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_i
		 * point to this leader. But for_each_group_evsel can't
		 * iterate all members from cycles. It only iterates
		 * cycles and one unc_cbo_cache_lookup.any_i. So we
		 * set extra evsel here.
		 */
		evsel->leader = evsel;
		evsel->core.nr_members = 0;
	}
}

Thanks
