Urgh.. so the only way I can make that happen is through:

  perf_event_exit_task_context()
    raw_spin_lock(&child_ctx->lock);
    unclone_ctx(child_ctx)
      put_ctx(ctx->parent_ctx);
    raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&child_ctx->lock);

And we can avoid this by doing the change below.

I can't immediately see how this changed recently, but given that you
say it's easy to reproduce, lets fix this.
