perf: Close install vs. exit race

Consider the following scenario:

  CPU0					CPU1

  ctx = find_get_ctx();
					perf_event_exit_task_context()
  mutex_lock(&ctx->mutex);
  perf_install_in_context(ctx, ...);
    /* NO-OP */
  mutex_unlock(&ctx->mutex);

  ...

  perf_release()
    WARN_ON_ONCE(event->state != STATE_EXIT);

Since the event doesn't pass through perf_remove_from_context()
because perf_install_in_context() NO-OPs because the ctx is dead, and
perf_event_exit_task_context() will not observe the event because its
not attached yet, the event->state will not be set.

Solve this by revalidating ctx->task after we acquire ctx->mutex and
failing the event creation as a whole.
