perf: Fix race in perf_event_exec()
I managed to tickle this warning:

Which is a WARN_ON_ONCE() indicating that cpuctx->task_ctx is not
what we expected it to be.
This is because context switches can swap the task_struct::perf_event_ctxp[]
pointer around. Therefore you have to either disable preemption when looking
at current, or hold ctx->lock.
Fix perf_event_enable_on_exec(), it loads current->perf_event_ctxp[]
before disabling interrupts, therefore a preemption in the right place
can swap contexts around and we're using the wrong one.
