Subject: perf counter issue -
	WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&tsk->perf_counter_ctx.counter_list));

I am hitting this warning in kernel/exit.c (latest -tip code):

WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&tsk->perf_counter_ctx.counter_list));

I was using perf counters against a java benchmark. Any suggestions for
me to try out?

Full stack-traceback is below:
