Fix racy use of anon_inode_getfd() in perf_event.c
once anon_inode_getfd() is called, you can't expect *anything* about struct file that descriptor points to - another thread might be doing whatever it likes with descriptor table at that point. Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
