Aw gawd, I've been an idiot!!

I just realized this is a _CHILD_ loop, not a _SIBLING_ loop !!

We need to flip the loops in perf_read_group(), find attached two
patches that go on top of 1,2,4.

After this you can add the perf_event_read() return value (just fold
patches 6,8) after which you can do patch 10 (which has a broken
Subject fwiw).
