OK, I take it back.  Even with the new patch applied, my fuzzer can still 
make the kernel leak user->locked_vm

I assume that the locked_vm value should go back to 0 once a process that 
has a bunch of mmap'd perf_events opened exits?

I admit this is sort of an obscure corner case, but it does mean that a 
user can leak user->locked_vm to the point that "perf record" no longer 
works.
