[PATCH 5.10 17/57] perf: Fix cgroup state vs ERROR

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

5.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

[ Upstream commit 61988e36dc5457cdff7ae7927e8d9ad1419ee998 ]

While chasing down a missing perf_cgroup_event_disable() elsewhere,
Leo Yan found that both perf_put_aux_event() and
perf_remove_sibling_event() were also missing one.

Specifically, the rule is that events that switch to OFF,ERROR need to
call perf_cgroup_event_disable().

Unify the disable paths to ensure this.

Fixes: ab43762ef010 ("perf: Allow normal events to output AUX data")
Fixes: 9f0c4fa111dc ("perf/core: Add a new PERF_EV_CAP_SIBLING event capability")
