OK, so far so good, this explains the bit in
__perf_install_in_context().

This bit doesn't make sense, you don't in fact avoid anything in
list_update_cgroup_event(), you do more, not less.

This is utterly incomprehensible, what?

And that's just horrible coding style. Maybe something like:

if (add && cgroup_is_descendant(cgrp->css.cgroup, event->cgrp->css.cgroup)) {
if (cpuctx->cgrp)
WARN_ON_ONCE(cpuctx->cgrp != cgrp);
cpuctx->cgrp = cgrp;
}

that? But that still needs a comment to explain _why_ we do that here.
Under what condition would we fail to have cpuctx->cgrp set while
ctx->nr_cgroups. Your comment doesn't explain nor does your Changelog.

That bit is entirely spurious, if it right after if (is_cgroup_event()),
obviously this block is only for cgroup events.

And that isn't really english. I think you meant to write something
like:

/*
* If the current cgroup doesn't match the event's
* cgroup, we should not try to schedule it.
