Subject: perf: Fix task refcount bugs
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e7d0bc047548d76feee6b23f7d3d9da927189a50;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

perf: Fix task refcount bugs

Currently it looks like find_lively_task_by_vpid() takes a task ref
and relies on find_get_context() to drop it.

The problem is that perf_event_create_kernel_counter() shouldn't be
dropping task refs.
