perf: Fix perf_event_init_task()/perf_event_free_task() interaction
perf_event_init_task() should clear child->perf_event_ctxp[]
before anything else. Otherwise, if
perf_event_init_context(perf_hw_context) fails,
perf_event_free_task() can free perf_event_ctxp[perf_sw_context]
copied from parent->perf_event_ctxp[] by dup_task_struct().
Also move the initialization of perf_event_mutex and
perf_event_list from perf_event_init_context() to
perf_event_init_context().
