[GIT PULL] perf fixes, leftover from v3.17

[Ingo Molnar]

Linus,

Please pull the latest perf-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git perf-urgent-for-linus

   # HEAD: 9c2b9d30e28559a78c9e431cdd7f2c6bf5a9ee67 perf: Fix perf bug in fork()

Two leftover fixes from the v3.17 cycle - these will be forwarded 
to -stable as well, if they prove problem-free in wider testing 
as well.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
