While reviewing the code, I found perf_event_create_kernel_counter()
has the similar problem in the "err_pmu_ctx" error handling path:

CPU0					CPU1
perf_event_create_kernel_counter()
  // inc ctx refcnt
  find_get_context(task, event) (1)

  // inc pmu_ctx refcnt
  pmu_ctx = find_get_pmu_context()

  event->pmu_ctx = pmu_ctx
  ...
  goto err_pmu_ctx:
    // dec pmu_ctx refcnt
    put_pmu_ctx(pmu_ctx) (2)

    mutex_unlock(&ctx->mutex)
    // dec ctx refcnt
    put_ctx(ctx)
					perf_event_exit_task_context()
					  mutex_lock()
					  mutex_unlock()
					  // last refcnt put
					  put_ctx()
    free_event(event)
      if (event->pmu_ctx) // True
        put_pmu_ctx() (3)
          // will access freed pmu_ctx or ctx

      if (event->ctx) // False
        put_ctx()

(3) has UAF problem since the pmu_ctx maybe freed in (2), so also
should have "event->pmu_ctx = NULL;" in (2).
