perf_counter: Fix inheritance cleanup code

Clean up code that open-coded the list_{add,del}_counter() code in
__perf_counter_exit_task() which consequently diverged. This could
lead to software counter crashes.

Also, fold the ctx->nr_counter inc/dec into those functions and clean
up some of the related code.

[ Impact: fix potential sw counter crash, cleanup ]
