Subject: #syz test: git://git.kernel.dk/linux.git master
Author: gshahrouzi@...il.com

Move the get_ctx(child_ctx) call and the child_event->ctx assignment to
occur immediately after the child event is allocated. Ensure that
child_event->ctx is non-NULL before any subsequent error path within
inherit_event calls free_event(), satisfying the assumptions of the
cleanup code.

Reported-by: syzbot+ff3aa851d46ab82953a3@...kaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=ff3aa851d46ab82953a3
