[SRU][Artful][PATCH 1/2] perf cgroup: Fix refcount usage

[Joseph Salisbury]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <arnaldo.melo at gmail.com>

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1769027

When converting from atomic_t to refcount_t we didn't follow the usual
step of initializing it to one before taking any new reference, which
trips over checking if taking a reference for a freed refcount_t, fix
it.

Brendan's report:

 ---
It's 4.12-rc7, with node v4.4.1. I'm building 4.13-rc1 now, as I hit
what I think is another unrelated perf bug and I'm starting to wonder
what else is broken on that version:

(root) /mnt/src/linux-4.12-rc7/tools/perf # ./perf record -F 99 -a -e
cpu-clock --cgroup=docker/f9e9d5df065b14646e8a11edc837a13877fd90c171137b2ba3feb67a0201cb65
-g
perf: /mnt/src/linux-4.12-rc7/tools/include/linux/refcount.h:108:
refcount_inc: Assertion `!(!refcount_inc_not_zero(r))' failed.
Aborted

that used to work...
 ---

Testing it:

Before:

  # perf stat -e cycles -C 0 --cgroup /
  perf: /home/acme/git/linux/tools/include/linux/refcount.h:108: refcount_inc: Assertion `!(!refcount_inc_not_zero(r))' failed.
  Aborted (core dumped)
  #

After:

  # perf stat -e cycles -C 0 --cgroup /
^C
  Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':

       132,081,393      cycles                    /

       2.492942763 seconds time elapsed
