    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.
