perf: protect group_leader from races that cause ctx double-free

When moving a group_leader perf event from a software-context
to a hardware-context, there's a race in checking and
updating that context. The existing locking solution
doesn't work; note that it tries to grab a lock inside
the group_leader's context object, which you can only
get at by going through a pointer that should be protected
from these races. To avoid that problem, and to produce
a simple solution, we can just use a lock per group_leader
to protect all checks on the group_leader's context.
The new lock is grabbed and released when no context locks
are held.
