OK, that's a good clue. That looks like we're freeing events that still
are on the owner list, which would indicate we're freeing events that
have a refcount.

I added a WARN in free_event() to check the refcount, along with a
number of false positives (through the perf_event_open() fail path) I do
appear to be getting actual fails here.

At least I can 'reproduce' this. Earlier attempts, even based on your
.config only got me very mysterious lockups -- I suspect the corruption
happens on a slightly different spot or so and completely messes up the
machine.
