perf: Annotate perf_event_read_group() vs perf_event_release_kernel()
Stephane reported a lockdep warning while using PERF_FORMAT_GROUP.
The issue is that perf_event_read_group() takes faults while holding
the ctx->mutex, while perf_event_release_kernel() can be called from
munmap(). Which makes for an AB-BA deadlock.
Except we can never establish the deadlock because we'll only ever
call perf_event_release_kernel() after all file descriptors are dead
so there is no concurrency possible.
