+Subject: perf: Fix hotplug splat
+
+From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
+
+commit e3703f8cdfcf39c25c4338c3ad8e68891cca3731 upstream.
+
+Drew Richardson reported that he could make the kernel go *boom* when hotplugging
+while having perf events active.
+
+It turned out that when you have a group event, the code in
+__perf_event_exit_context() fails to remove the group siblings from
+the context.
+
+We then proceed with destroying and freeing the event, and when you
+re-plug the CPU and try and add another event to that CPU, things go
+*boom* because you've still got dead entries there.
