Peter Zijlstra 828b6f0e26 perf: Fix NULL deref
Dan reported:

  1229                  if (ctx->task == TASK_TOMBSTONE ||
  1230                      !atomic_inc_not_zero(&ctx->refcount)) {
  1231                          raw_spin_unlock(&ctx->lock);
  1232                          ctx = NULL;
                                ^^^^^^^^^^
ctx is NULL.

  1233                  }
  1234
  1235                  WARN_ON_ONCE(ctx->task != task);
                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The patch adds a NULL dereference.
