perf: Fix race between event install and jump_labels
perf_install_in_context() relies upon the context switch hooks to have
scheduled in events when the IPI misses its target -- after all, if
the task has moved from the CPU (or wasn't running at all), it will
have to context switch to run elsewhere.
This however doesn't appear to be happening.
It is possible for the IPI to not happen (task wasn't running) only to
later observe the task running with an inactive context.
The only possible explanation is that the context switch hooks are not
called. Therefore put in a sync_sched() after toggling the jump_label
to guarantee all CPUs will have them enabled before we install an
event.
A simple if (0->1) sync_sched() will not in fact work, because any
further increment can race and complete before the sync_sched().
Therefore we must jump through some hoops.
