    Michael Neuling 提交于
    Currently if you are doing a global perf recording with hardware
    breakpoints (ie perf record -e mem:0xdeadbeef -a), you can oops with:
    
      Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000738890
      cpu 0xc: Vector: 300 (Data Access) at [c0000003f76af8d0]

        pid   = 6810, comm = loop-read
      enter ? for help

      SP (ff8679e0) is in userspace
    
    This is because we don't check to see if the break point is associated
    with task before we deference the task_struct pointer.
    
    This changes the update to use current.
