[PATCH 3.17 057/319] perf: Fix unclone_ctx() vs. locking

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 211de6eba8960521e2be450a7d07db85fba4604c upstream.

The idiot who did 4a1c0f262f88 ("perf: Fix lockdep warning on process exit")
forgot to pay attention and fix all similar cases. Do so now.

In particular, unclone_ctx() must be called while holding ctx->lock,
therefore all such sites are broken for the same reason. Pull the
put_ctx() call out from under ctx->lock.
