perf, core: Fix initial task_ctx/event installation
A lost Quilt refresh of 2c29ef0fef8 (perf: Simplify and fix
__perf_install_in_context()) is causing grief and lockups,
reported by Jiri Olsa.
When installing an event in a task context, there's a number of
issues:
- there might not be an existing task context, in which case
we should install the now current context;
- there might already be a context, not the current one, in
which case we should de-schedule the old and install the new;
these cases were dealt with in the lost refresh, however there is one
further case that was found in testing:
- there might already be a context, the current one, in which
case we should still de-schedule, and should take care
to re-install it (note that task_ctx_sched_out() clears
cpuctx->task_ctx).
