From: Song Liu <song@kernel.org>

commit 5f4e5ce638e6a490b976ade4a40017b40abb2da0 upstream.

There's list corruption on cgrp_cpuctx_list. This happens on the
following path:

perf_cgroup_switch: list_for_each_entry(cgrp_cpuctx_list)
cpu_ctx_sched_in
ctx_sched_in
ctx_pinned_sched_in
merge_sched_in
perf_cgroup_event_disable: remove the event from the list

Use list_for_each_entry_safe() to allow removing an entry during
iteration.

Fixes: 058fe1c0440e ("perf/core: Make cgroup switch visit only cpuctxs with cgroup events")
