Using this example, rb_next() should take you through the nodes in this
order (assuming you start with 01): 01, 02, 03, 14, etc. So you iterate
while event->cpu==cpu using rb_next() and you should be fine.

Afaict, this assumes that you are also ordering on event->pmu, which
should be reflected in your _less function. And also assuming that
group_first() is doing the right thing. Can we see the code?
