Subject: [010/151] perf: Dont free perf_mmap_data until work has been done

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Kristian Høgsberg <krh@...planet.net>

commit ec70ccd806111ba3caf596def91a8580138b12db upstream.

In the CONFIG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC case, perf_mmap_data_free() only
schedules the cleanup of the perf_mmap_data struct.  In that
case we have to wait until the work has been done before we free
data.
