perf: Optimize perf_event_task_sched_out

Remove an update_context_time() call from the
perf_event_task_sched_out() path and into the branch its needed.

The call was both superfluous, because __perf_event_sched_out()
already does it, and wrong, because it was done without holding
ctx->lock.

Place it in perf_event_sync_stat(), which is the only place it
is needed and which does already hold ctx->lock.
