Namhyung Kim fb6c79d726 perf tools: Add 'cgroup-switches' software event
It counts how often cgroups are changed actually during the context
switches.

  # perf stat -a -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -a sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

              11,267      context-switches
              10,950      cgroup-switches

         1.015634369 seconds time elapsed

Committer notes:

The kernel patches landed in v5.13, but this entry wasn't filled in
perf's parse-events tables, which was leading to a segfault when running
'perf list' on a kernel with that feature, as reported by Thomas
Richter.

Also removed the part touching tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h as
it was updated in the usual sync with the kernel UAPI headers, in a
previous, already upstream, patch.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
