From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo acme@redhat.com
commit 5b3cde198878b2f3269d5e7efbc0d514899b1fd8 upstream.
This reverts commit 7d1405c71df21f6c394b8a885aa8a133f749fa22.
This causes segfaults in some cases, as reported by Milian:
``` sudo /usr/bin/perf record -z --call-graph dwarf -e cycles -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter ls ... [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ] malloc(): invalid next size (unsorted) Aborted ```
Backtrace with GDB + debuginfod:
``` malloc(): invalid next size (unsorted)
