perf: Fix event->ctx locking
There have been a few reported issues wrt. the lack of locking around changing event->ctx. This patch tries to address those. It avoids the whole rwsem thing; and while it appears to work, please give it some thought in review. What I did fail at is sensible runtime checks on the use of event->ctx, the RCU use makes it very hard. Signed-off-by:Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Paul E.
