Urgh.. so the only way I can make that happen is through:
perf_event_exit_task_context()
raw_spin_lock(&child_ctx->lock);
unclone_ctx(child_ctx)
put_ctx(ctx->parent_ctx);
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&child_ctx->lock);
And we can avoid this by doing the change below.
I can't immediately see how this changed recently, but given that you
say it's easy to reproduce, lets fix this.
