Syzcaller reported the following Use-after-Free bug:

	close()						clone()

							  copy_process()
							    perf_event_init_task()
							      perf_event_init_context()
							        mutex_lock(parent_ctx->mutex)
								inherit_task_group()
								  inherit_group()
								    inherit_event()
								      mutex_lock(event->child_mutex)
								      // expose event on child list
								      list_add_tail()
								      mutex_unlock(event->child_mutex)
							        mutex_unlock(parent_ctx->mutex)

							    ...
							    goto bad_fork_*

							  bad_fork_cleanup_perf:
							    perf_event_free_task()

	  perf_release()
	    perf_event_release_kernel()
	      list_for_each_entry()
		mutex_lock(ctx->mutex)
		mutex_lock(event->child_mutex)
		// event is from the failing inherit
		// on the other CPU
		perf_remove_from_context()
		list_move()
		mutex_unlock(event->child_mutex)
		mutex_unlock(ctx->mutex)

							      mutex_lock(ctx->mutex)
							      list_for_each_entry_safe()
							        // event already stolen
							      mutex_unlock(ctx->mutex)

							    delayed_free_task()
							      free_task()

	     list_for_each_entry_safe()
	       list_del()
	       free_event()
	         _free_event()
		   // and so event->hw.target
		   // is the already freed failed clone()
		   if (event->hw.target)
		     put_task_struct(event->hw.target)
		       // WHOOPSIE, already quite dead

Which puts the lie to the the comment on perf_event_free_task():
'unexposed, unused context' not so much.

Which is a 'fun' confluence of fail; copy_process() doing an
unconditional free_task() and not respecting refcounts, and perf having
creative locking. In particular:

  82d94856 ("perf/core: Fix lock inversion between perf,trace,cpuhp")

seems to have overlooked this 'fun' parade.

Solve it by using the fact that detached events still have a reference
count on their (previous) context. With this perf_event_free_task()
can detect when events have escaped and wait for their destruction.
