perf/core: Robustify the perf_cgroup_from_task() RCU checks

This patch reinforces the lockdep checks performed by
perf_cgroup_from_tsk() by passing the perf_event_context
whenever possible. It is okay to not hold the RCU read lock
when we know we hold the ctx->lock. This patch makes sure this
property holds.

In some functions, such as perf_cgroup_sched_in(), we do not
pass the context because we are sure we are holding the RCU
read lock.
