Jiri Olsa fadfe7be6e perf: Add queued work to remove orphaned child events
In cases when the  owner task exits before the workload and the
workload made some forks, all the events stay in until the last
workload process exits. Thats' because each child event holds
parent reference.

We want to release all children events once the parent is gone,
because at that time there's no process to read them anyway, so
they're just eating resources.

This removal  races with process exit, which removes all events
and fork, which clone events.  To be clear of those two, adding
work queue to remove orphaned child for context in case such
event is detected.

Using delayed work queue (with delay == 1), because we queue this
work under perf scheduler callbacks. Normal work queue tries to wake
up the queue process, which deadlocks on rq->lock in this place.

Also preventing clones from abandoned parent event.
