[PATCH 6.12 215/220] perf: Unify perf_event_free_task() / perf_event_exit_task_context()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

commit 90661365021a6d0d7f3a2c5046ebe33e4df53b92 upstream.

Both perf_event_free_task() and perf_event_exit_task_context() are
very similar, except perf_event_exit_task_context() is a little more
generic / makes less assumptions.
