Thanks for the fix with commit id 86071b11317550d994b55ce5e31aa06bcad783b5.

However doing an fgrep on the pending_disable member of struct perf_event
reveals two more hits in file kernel/events/ringbuffer.c when events
have auxiliary data.

Not sure if this needs to be addresses too, just wanted to let you know.
