Peter Zijlstra 68e3c69803 perf/core: Fix data race between perf_event_set_output() and perf_mmap_close()
Yang Jihing reported a race between perf_event_set_output() and
perf_mmap_close():

	CPU1					CPU2

	perf_mmap_close(e2)
	  if (atomic_dec_and_test(&e2->rb->mmap_count)) // 1 - > 0
	    detach_rest = true

						ioctl(e1, IOC_SET_OUTPUT, e2)
						  perf_event_set_output(e1, e2)

	  ...
	  list_for_each_entry_rcu(e, &e2->rb->event_list, rb_entry)
	    ring_buffer_attach(e, NULL);
	    // e1 isn't yet added and
	    // therefore not detached

						    ring_buffer_attach(e1, e2->rb)
						      list_add_rcu(&e1->rb_entry,
								   &e2->rb->event_list)

After this; e1 is attached to an unmapped rb and a subsequent
perf_mmap() will loop forever more:

	again:
		mutex_lock(&e->mmap_mutex);
		if (event->rb) {
			...
			if (!atomic_inc_not_zero(&e->rb->mmap_count)) {
				...
				mutex_unlock(&e->mmap_mutex);
				goto again;
			}
		}

The loop in perf_mmap_close() holds e2->mmap_mutex, while the attach
in perf_event_set_output() holds e1->mmap_mutex. As such there is no
serialization to avoid this race.

Change perf_event_set_output() to take both e1->mmap_mutex and
e2->mmap_mutex to alleviate that problem. Additionally, have the loop
in perf_mmap() detach the rb directly, this avoids having to wait for
the concurrent perf_mmap_close() to get around to doing it to make
progress.
