perf: Fix perf_event_exit_task() race
There is a race against perf_event_exit_task() vs event_function_call(),find_get_context(),perf_install_in_context() (iow, everyone). Since there is no permanent marker on a context that its dead, it is quite possible that we access (and even modify) a context after its passed through perf_event_exit_task(). For instance, find_get_context() might find the context still installed, but by the time we get to perf_install_in_context() it might already have passed through perf_event_exit_task() and be considered dead, we will however still add the event to it. Solve this by marking a ctx dead by setting its ctx->task value to -1, it must be !0 so we still know its a (former) task context.
