From: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> commit e7cc4865f0f31698ef2f7aac01a50e78968985b7 upstream.
While hunting for clues to a use-after-free, Oleg spotted that perf_event_init_context() can loose an error value with the result that fork() can succeed even though we did not fully inherit the perf event context.
