perf_counter: Simplify and fix task migration counting

The task migrations counter was causing rare and hard to decypher
memory corruptions under load. After a day of debugging and bisection
we found that the problem was introduced with:

  3f731ca: perf_counter: Fix cpu migration counter

Turning them off fixes the crashes. Incidentally, the whole
perf_counter_task_migration() logic can be done simpler as well,
by injecting a proper sw-counter event.

This cleanup also fixed the crashes. The precise failure mode is
not completely clear yet, but we are clearly not unhappy about
having a fix ;-)
