perf: Fix event->ctx locking

Browse Source 
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.

/*
* Because of perf_event::ctx migration in sys_perf_event_open::move_group and
* perf_pmu_migrate_context() we need some magic.
*
* Those places that change perf_event::ctx will hold both
* perf_event_ctx::mutex of the 'old' and 'new' ctx value.
*
* Lock ordering is by mutex address. There is one other site where
* perf_event_context::mutex nests and that is put_event(). But remember that
* that is a parent<->child context relation, and migration does not affect
* children, therefore these two orderings should not interact.
*
* The change in perf_event::ctx does not affect children (as claimed above)
* because the sys_perf_event_open() case will install a new event and break
* the ctx parent<->child relation, and perf_pmu_migrate_context() is only
* concerned with cpuctx and that doesn't have children.
*
* The places that change perf_event::ctx will issue:
*
* perf_remove_from_context();
* synchronize_rcu();
* perf_install_in_context();
*
* to affect the change. The remove_from_context() + synchronize_rcu() should
* quiesce the event, after which we can install it in the new location. This
* means that only external vectors (perf_fops, prctl) can perturb the event
* while in transit. Therefore all such accessors should also acquire
* perf_event_context::mutex to serialize against this.
*
* However; because event->ctx can change while we're waiting to acquire
* ctx->mutex we must be careful and use the below perf_event_ctx_lock()
* function.
*
* Lock order:
* task_struct::perf_event_mutex
* perf_event_context::mutex
* perf_event_context::lock
* perf_event::child_mutex;
* perf_event::mmap_mutex
* mmap_sem
