Perf fuzzer gifted a lockdep splat:
perf_event_init_context()
mutex_lock(parent_ctx->mutex); (B)
inherit_task_group()
inherit_group()
inherit_event()
perf_event_alloc()
perf_try_init_event() := hw_breakpoint_event_init()
register_perf_hw_breakpoint()
mutex_lock(child->perf_event_mutex); (A)
Which is against the normal (documented) order. Now, this is a false
positive in that child is not published yet, but also inherited events
never end up on ->perf_event_list.
Annotate this one away.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
