The simple fix seemed to be to add:

For all callers _should_ hold ctx->lock and ctx->lock is acquired during
->attach/->exit so holding that lock will pin the cgroup.
However, not all update_context_time()/update_cgrp_time_from_event()
callers actually hold ctx->lock, which is a bug because that lock also
serializes the timestamps.
Most notably, task_clock_event_read(), which leads us to:

I then realized that the events themselves pin the cgroup, so its all
cosmetic at best, but then I already had the below patch...
Thoughts?
