perf: Fix event->ctx locking
commit
f63a8daa5812afef4f06c962351687e1ff9ccb2b upstream.
There have been a few reported issues wrt. the lack of locking around
changing event->ctx. This patch tries to address those.
It avoids the whole rwsem thing; and while it appears to work, please
give it some thought in review.
What I did fail at is sensible runtime checks on the use of
event->ctx, the RCU use makes it very hard.
