From: Frederic Weisbecker on
Split-up struct perf_event_context::group_list into pinned_groups
and flexible_groups (non-pinned).

This first appears to be useless as it duplicates various loops around
the group list handlings.

But it scales better in the fast-path in perf_sched_in(). We don't
anymore iterate twice through the entire list to separate pinned and
non-pinned scheduling. Instead we interate through two distinct lists.

The another desired effect is that it makes easier to define distinct
scheduling rules on both.

Changes in v2:
- Respectively rename pinned_grp_list and
volatile_grp_list into pinned_groups and flexible_groups as per
Ingo suggestion.
- Various cleanups
