6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra peterz@infradead.org
commit 2ab9d830262c132ab5db2f571003d80850d56b2a upstream.
Ole reported that event->mmap_mutex is strictly insufficient to serialize the AUX buffer, add a per RB mutex to fully serialize it.
Note that in the lock order comment the perf_event::mmap_mutex order was already wrong, that is, it nesting under mmap_lock is not new with this patch.
