Subject: [PATCH 4.1 11/78] perf: Fix double-free of the AUX buffer

4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk>

commit ee9397a6fb9bc4e52677f5e33eed4abee0f515e6 upstream.

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().
