[RFC][PATCH 4/7] perf: Fix scaling vs enable_on_exec

[Peter Zijlstra]

Oleg reported that enable_on_exec results in weird scale factors.

The recent commit 3e349507d12d ("perf: Fix perf_enable_on_exec() event
scheduling") caused this by moving task_ctx_sched_out() from before
__perf_event_mask_enable() to after it.

The overlooked concequence of that change is that task_ctx_sched_out()
would update the ctx time fields, and now __perf_event_mask_enable()
uses stale time.

Fix this by adding an explicit time update.

While looking at this, I also found that we need an ctx->is_active
check in perf_install_in_context().

XXX: does this actually fix the reported issue? I'm not sure what the
reproduction case is. Also an earlier version made Jiri's machine
explode -- something I've not managed to reproduce either.
