[PATCH 05/19] iommu/vt-d: Fix perfmon group validation

The group validation here has a few issues to fix: firstly, failing to
count the group leader or the event being opened itself. Secondly it
appears wrong not to count disabled sibling events given that they could
be enabled later. Finally there's the subtlety that we should avoid racy
access to the sibling list when the event is its own group leader.
