Current perf assumes that events in a group are independent. Close an event doesn't impact the value of the other events in the same group. If the closed event is a member, after the event closure, other events are still running like a group. If the closed event is a leader, other events are running as singleton events. Add PERF_EV_CAP_SIBLING to allow events to indicate they require being part of a group, and when the leader dies they cannot exist independently.
