[PATCH 6.1.y] perf/core: Fix possible deadlock in sys_perf_event_open()

["李棒(伯兮)" <libang.li@antgroup.com>]

In certain scenarios, gctx and ctx may be equal in the
__perf_event_ctx_lock_double() function, resulting in a deadlock.

Thread 1, thread 2 and thread 3 belong to the same process, and the
process number is assumed to be M. The deadlock scenario is as follows:

1) Thread 1 creates a pure software group through the system call
   sys_perf_event_open() and returns an fd, assuming the value of fd is N.
   The parameters of sys_perf_event_open() are as follows.

   For example:
    perf_event_attr.type = PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE;
    pid = M;
    cpu = 0;
    group_fd = -1;
    flags = 0;
    N = sys_perf_event_open(&perf_event_attr, pid, cpu, group_fd, flags);

2) Thread 2 and thread 3 call the perf_event_open() function concurrently
   with the same parameters on a different cpu. And use the fd generated
   by thread 1 as group_fd. The parameters of sys_perf_event_open() are
   as follows.

   For example:
    perf_event_attr.type = PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE;
    pid = M;
    cpu = 0;
    group_fd = N;
    flags = 0;
    sys_perf_event_open(&perf_event_attr, pid, cpu, group_fd, flags);

3) In the __perf_event_ctx_lock_double function, assuming that thread 2
   successfully acquires gctx->mutex and ctx->mutex first, thread 3 will
   wait here. At the same time, thread 2 will move the pure software gruop
   to the hardware context and change group_leader->ctx to the hardware
   context.

4) When thread 2 releases gctx->mutex and ctx->mutex, thread 3 acquires
   gctx->mutex and ctx->mutex. And find that group_leader->ctx != gctx,
   then reacquires gctx. At this time, gctx is equal to the ctx of thread
   3, triggering a deadlock.
