perf/core: Fix crash due to account/unaccount_sb_event() inconsistency

unaccount_pmu_sb_event() did not check for attributes in event->attr
before calling detach_sb_event(), while account_pmu_event() did.

This caused NULL pointer reference in cgroup events that did not
have any of the attributes checked by account_pmu_event().

To trigger the bug just wait for a cgroup event to terminate, e.g.:

  $ mkdir /dev/cgroup/devices/test
  $ perf stat -e cycles -a -G test sleep 0

... see crash ...
