Re: [perf] more perf_fuzzer memory corruption

[Vince Weaver]

OK, with the following patch I've been running the problem test case for 
an hour without triggering the bug.

I'm sure this is the wrong fix (maybe patching over the problem istead of 
fixing the root cause), but it works for me.

It looks like this whole mess got introduced with 76e1d9047 in Linux 
2.6.35 when the swevent code was converted to use a hashed list.
