[PATCH] perf/core: Don't allow grouping events from different hw pmus

From: Ravi Bangoria
Date: Tue Nov 22 2022 - 03:04:44 EST


Event group from different hw pmus does not make sense and thus perf
has never allowed it. However, with recent rewrite that restriction
has been inadvertently removed. Fix it.
