perf/core: Fix use-after-free bug
commit a76a82a3 upstream. Dmitry reported a KASAN use-after-free on event->group_leader. It turns out there's a hole in perf_remove_from_context() due to event_function_call() not calling its function when the task associated with the event is already dead. In this case the event will have been detached from the task, but the grouping will have been retained, such that group operations might still work properly while there are live child events etc. This does however mean that we can miss a perf_group_detach() call when the group decomposes, this in turn can then lead to use-after-free. Fix it by explicitly doing the group detach if its still required.
