Subject: [PATCH 4.1 024/202] perf: Fix AUX buffer refcounting

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

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

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

commit 57ffc5ca679f499f4704fd9b6a372916f59930ee upstream.

Its currently possible to drop the last refcount to the aux buffer
from NMI context, which results in the expected fireworks.

The refcounting needs a bigger overhaul, but to cure the immediate
problem, delay the freeing by using an irq_work.
