perf: Fix context leak in put_event()
Commit: a83fe28e2e45 ("perf: Fix put_event() ctx lock") changed the locking logic in put_event() by replacing mutex_lock_nested() with perf_event_ctx_lock_nested(), but didn't fix the subsequent mutex_unlock() with a correct counterpart, perf_event_ctx_unlock(). Contexts are thus leaked as a result of incremented refcount in perf_event_ctx_lock_nested().
