[PATCH 5.15 17/76] perf: Fix dangling cgroup pointer in cpuctx

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

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

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

From: Yeoreum Yun <yeoreum.yun@arm.com>

[ Upstream commit 3b7a34aebbdf2a4b7295205bf0c654294283ec82 ]

Commit a3c3c6667("perf/core: Fix child_total_time_enabled accounting
bug at task exit") moves the event->state update to before
list_del_event(). This makes the event->state test in list_del_event()
always false; never calling perf_cgroup_event_disable().

As a result, cpuctx->cgrp won't be cleared properly; causing havoc.
