Subject: Random scheduler/unaligned accesses crashes with perf lock events
	on sparc 64

Hi,

On tip:master, while turning on lock events with perf through

	perf lock record

I get random kernel crashes, sometimes about weird unaligned
accesses, sometimes about scheduler that complains.

I hope someone has an idea about this.

In three different attempts (got to force reboot each time), I got:

First (task_tgid_nr_ns() is called from perf_event_pid()):

Second:

(this one happened in asm/processor_64.h: prefetch(), probably while
walking to the context's event list)
