perf_counter: Initialize per-cpu context earlier on cpu up

This arranges for perf_counter's notifier for cpu hotplug
operations to be called earlier than the migration notifier in
sched.c by increasing its priority to 20, compared to the 10
for the migration notifier.  The reason for doing this is that
a subsequent commit to convert the cpu migration counter to use
the generic swcounter infrastructure will add a call into the
perf_counter subsystem when tasks get migrated.  Therefore the
perf_counter subsystem needs a chance to initialize its per-cpu
data for the new cpu before it can get called from the
migration code.

This also adds a comment to the migration notifier noting that
its priority needs to be lower than that of the perf_counter
notifier.
