perf/core: Disallow uncore-cgroup events 

While discussing uncore event scheduling, I noticed we do not in fact
seem to dis-allow making uncore-cgroup events. Such events make no
sense what so ever because the cgroup is a CPU local state where
uncore counts across a number of CPUs.

Disallow them.
