Hi,

As a heads-up, while fuzzing arm64 v4.14-rc{4,7} with Syzkaller, I hit a
KASAN splat in event_sched_out():

... which is triggered by the Syzkaller repro program at the end of this
email. I haven't yet come up with a C reproducer; sorry.

The PC seems to be the load of cpuctx->active_oncpu at the end of the
function, so it looks like cpuctx is NULL.

The system has (homogeneous) armv8_pmuv3, breakpoint, and software PMUs.

I initially hit this on v4.14-rc4, and can reproduce the issue on
v4.14-rc7. I haven't tried any other kernels yet.

I'll continue digging, unless someone else has already solved this.

Thanks,
Mark.
