perf: Do not allow optimized switch for non-cloned events
commit 1f9a7268c67f0290837aada443d28fd953ddca90 upstream. The context check in perf_event_context_sched_out allows non-cloned context to be part of the optimized schedule out switch. This could move non-cloned context into another workload child. Once this child exits, the context is closed and leaves all original (parent) events in closed state. Any other new cloned event will have closed state and not measure anything. And probably causing other odd bugs.
