Sorry, it took a while for me to get started on it. Anyways, thanks for
providing fixes. I applied those and ran some tests on AMD Milan machine:

- Built in perf tests ran fine without any issues
- perf_event_tests reported one BUG_ON() and one WARN_ON(). I'll work on
  fixing those.
- Ran perf fuzzer for almost a day. It reported one softlockup but system
  recovered from it and later it reported one hardlockup but unfortunately
  my config had HARDLOCKUP_PANIC set and thus couldn't confirm whether that
  hardlockup was recoverable or not. Anyway, system was running pretty much
  fine until then.
- No lockdep warnings were observed in any of the tests.

I'll work on verifying functionality changes.

Thanks,
Ravi
