perf: Fix races in computing the header sizes
There are two races with the current code: - Another event can join the group and compute a larger header_size concurrently, if the smaller store wins we'll have an incorrect header_size set. - We compute the header_size after the event becomes active, therefore its possible to use the size before its computed. Remedy the first by moving the computation inside the ctx::mutex lock, and the second by placing it _before_ perf_install_in_context().
