perf: Update cgroup time when rotating multiplexed events

Since commit bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling"),
perf_rotate_context() only updates the context time before scheduling
out the flexible events. It no longer updates the cgroup time, which
ctx_sched_out() used to do.

Cgroup events take their times from the per-cpu cgroup clock, so
between two cgroup switches the rotations see a frozen clock. The
events rotated out lose the running time they accumulated, and the next
update, usually a read, credits the whole interval to the events that
happen to be on the PMU at that moment.

As a result, the time_running of multiplexed cgroup events is wrong,
and so are their scaled counts, as long as no other cgroup runs on the
CPU, e.g. a busy job alone on its CPUs. Counting cycles over one second
of a busy loop in a cgroup gives from half to several times the max
frequency of the CPU.

Update the cgroup time before rotating the CPU context, as was done
before the rewrite.
