arm64: perf: fix group validation when using enable_on_exec
commit 8455e6ec70f33b0e8c3ffd47067e00481f09f454 upstream. This is a port of cb2d8b342aa0 ("ARM: 7698/1: perf: fix group validation when using enable_on_exec") to arm64, which fixes the event validation checking so that events in the OFF state are still considered when enable_on_exec is true.
