I hit this again on the skylake machine, but it takes a while (many days
of fuzzing).

Also maybe related, it hits this WARN_ONCE in perf_mmap_close() first

	               /* this has to be the last one */
                rb_free_aux(rb);
                WARN_ON_ONCE(atomic_read(&rb->aux_refcount));
