Ok, just for my own understanding: how do the events on the
->task_ctx->event_list relate to the current cpu in this path? I mean,
we're on the task exit path here so is it possible to be rescheduled
somewhere else and the check in event_filter_match to become
meaningless?

Because with this fix, we have a small window between enabling
preemption after the last pmu context and disabling it again to get
moved somewhere else.

Hmm.

Thanks.
