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.
