perf/core: Fix perf_event_read()
perf_event_read() has a number of issues regarding the timekeeping bits. - The IPI didn't update group times when it found INACTIVE - The direct call would not re-check ->state after taking ctx->lock which can result in ->count and timestamps getting out of sync. And we can make use of the ordering introduced for perf_event_stop() to make it more accurate for ACTIVE.
