After applying 1/2 in this series and trying to reproduce I couldn't, it
works, looking at the code...

Let me get my head around this, idea was that after all fds associated
with a mmap would be closed, i.e. the perf_mmap->refcnt hits zero, then
we would have to drain whatever was left in the mmap, but looking again
that doesn't look like that is what is doing, becaue in filter_pollfd we
will munmap it before being able to "drain" it, as all mmaps were
closed, thus filter_pollfd returned zero...

Reading on, thanks for the patch!
