I got back to this, need to go again over all the callers of
perf_swevent_get_recursion_context(), from the first quick glance there
are other places with preempt_disable()/enable(), but doing just the
switch to migrate disable/enable on perf_pending_task() makes this
specific test to work:

Added new event:

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:perf_pending_task -aR sleep 1

I did the test without the above patch and the original problem is
reproduced.

Right.
