perf: Fix race in perf_event_exit_task_context()

There is a race between perf_event_exit_task_context() and
orphans_remove_work() which results in a use-after-free.

We mark ctx->task with TASK_TOMBSTONE to indicate a context is
'dead', under ctx->lock. After which point event_function_call()
on any event of that context will NOP

A concurrent orphans_remove_work() will only hold ctx->mutex for
the list iteration and not serialize against this. Therefore its
possible that orphans_remove_work()'s perf_remove_from_context()
call will fail, but we'll continue to free the event, with the
result of free'd memory still being on lists and everything.

Once perf_event_exit_task_context() gets around to acquiring
ctx->mutex it too will iterate the event list, encounter the
already free'd event and proceed to free it _again_. This fails
with the WARN in free_event().

Plug the race by having perf_event_exit_task_context() hold
ctx::mutex over the whole tear-down, thereby 'naturally'
serializing against all other sites, including the orphan work.
