In our production environment, we found many hung tasks which are
blocked for more than 18 hours. Their call traces are like this:

The task was waiting for the refcount become to 1, but from the vmcore,
we found the refcount has already been 1. It seems that the task didn't
get woken up by perf_event_release_kernel() and got stuck forever. The
below scenario may cause the problem.
Thread A Thread B
... ...
perf_event_free_task perf_event_release_kernel
...
acquire event->child_mutex
...
get_ctx
... release event->child_mutex
acquire ctx->mutex
...
perf_free_event (acquire/release event->child_mutex)
...
release ctx->mutex
wait_var_event
acquire ctx->mutex
acquire event->child_mutex
# move existing events to free_list
release event->child_mutex
release ctx->mutex
put_ctx
... ...
In this case, all events of the ctx have been freed, so we couldn't
find the ctx in free_list and Thread A will miss the wakeup. It's thus
necessary to add a wakeup after dropping the reference.
