Jiri reported triggering that WARN_ON_ONCE over the weekend:

I think the below should cure this; if we install a group leader it will
iterate the (still intact) group list and find its siblings and try and
install those too -- even though those still have the old event->ctx --
in the new ctx.
Upon installing the first group sibling we'd try and schedule out the
group and trigger the above warn.
Fix this by installing the group leader last, installing siblings would
have no effect, they're not reachable through the group lists and
therefore we don't schedule them.
Also delay resetting the state until we're absolutely sure the events
are quiescent -- which raises the question; should perf_pmu_migrate()
not also have perf_event__state_init() calls in?
