perf: Fix perf_event_init_task()/perf_event_free_task() interaction
perf_event_init_task() should clear child->perf_event_ctxp[] before anything else. Otherwise, if perf_event_init_context(perf_hw_context) fails, perf_event_free_task() can free perf_event_ctxp[perf_sw_context] copied from parent->perf_event_ctxp[] by dup_task_struct(). Also move the initialization of perf_event_mutex and perf_event_list from perf_event_init_context() to perf_event_init_context().
