so it's looking more and more like this issue is with a
        PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK
event.

It's being deallocated in a different process than it was started (due to 
fork).

And it really looks like the problem is even though the event is free'd, 
there's still an active hrtimer associated with it somehow.

I can't seem to find *why* there's an associated hrtimer though, as the 
event as far as I can tell was created with sample_period=0 and the 
various
        perf_swevent_init_hrtimer()
calls seem to guard with is_sampling()

This is made all the more confusing because the PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK 
events are handled by their own PMU even though it's faked up so they look 
like regular software events.  Is there a reason for that?
