perf_counter: add an event_list

I noticed that the counter_list only includes top-level counters, thus
perf_swcounter_event() will miss sw-counters in groups.

Since perf_swcounter_event() also wants an RCU safe list, create a new
event_list that includes all counters and uses RCU list ops and use call_rcu
to free the counter structure.
