Alexander Shishkin 00496fe5e0 perf/aux: Fix the aux_output group inheritance fix
Commit

  f733c6b508 ("perf/core: Fix inheritance of aux_output groups")

adds a NULL pointer dereference in case inherit_group() races with
perf_release(), which causes the below crash:

Fix this by skipping over events that are getting closed, in the
inheritance path.

README

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.
