perf_counter: Fix a race on perf_counter_ctx
While extending perfcounters with BTS hw-tracing, Markus
Metzger managed to trigger this warning:
[ 995.557128] WARNING: at kernel/perf_counter.c:1191 __perf_counter_task_sched_out+0x48/0x6b()
triggers because commit
9f498cc5be7e013d8d6e4c616980ed0ffc8680d2 (perf_counter: Full
task tracing) removed clearing of tsk->perf_counter_ctxp out
from under ctx->lock which introduced a race (against
perf_lock_task_context).
Move it back and deal with the exit notification by explicitly
passing along the former task context.
