perf_events: Restore sanity to scaling land
It is quite possible to call update_event_times() on a context
that isn't actually running and thereby confuse the thing.
perf stat was reporting !100% scale values for software counters
(2e2af50b perf_events: Disable events when we detach them,
solved the worst of that, but there was still some left).
The thing that happens is that because we are not self-reaping
(we have a caring parent) there is a time between the last
schedule (out) and having do_exit() called which will detach the
events.
This period would be accounted as enabled,!running because the
event->state==INACTIVE, even though !event->ctx->is_active.
Similar issues could have been observed by calling read() on a
event while the attached task was not scheduled in.
Solve this by teaching update_event_times() about
ctx->is_active.
