Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 31/49] perf namespace: Protect reading thread's namespace

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit 6584140ba9e6762dd7ec73795243289b914f31f9 ]

It seems that the current code lacks holding the namespace lock in
thread__namespaces().  Otherwise it can see inconsistent results.
