Subject: [PATCH] perf: Avoid double-free of AUX buffer

If rb->aux_refcount is decremented to zero before rb->refcount,
__rb_free_aux() may be called twice resulting in a double free of
rb->aux_pages.  Fix this by adding a check to __rb_free_aux().

Fixes: 57ffc5ca679f ("perf: Fix AUX buffer refcounting")
Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk>

Found by inspection, and the fix is compile-tested only.

I think both commit 57ffc5ca679f and this should go to stable, but
that's up to you.

Ben.

Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.
