As I have seen the same crash and suggested another patch:
[PATCH] perf evlist: fix memory corruption for Kernel PMU event
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201001115729.27116-1-song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com/

Also, I have tested Namhyung Kim's patch on ARM64. It does fix the crash for me. So:
Tested-by: Barry Song <song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com>

Please put the below fixes-tag in commit log:
Fixes: 7736627b865d ("perf stat: Use affinity for closing file descriptors")

Thanks
Barry
