[PATCH] perf: Add RCU read lock protection to perf_iterate_ctx()

[Breno Leitao]

The perf_iterate_ctx() function performs RCU list traversal but
currently lacks RCU read lock protection. This causes lockdep warnings
when running perf probe with unshare(1) under CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y:

	WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
	kernel/events/core.c:8168 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

	 Call Trace:
	  lockdep_rcu_suspicious
	  ? perf_event_addr_filters_apply
	  perf_iterate_ctx
	  perf_event_exec
	  begin_new_exec
	  ? load_elf_phdrs
	  load_elf_binary
	  ? lock_acquire
	  ? find_held_lock
	  ? bprm_execve
	  bprm_execve
	  do_execveat_common.isra.0
	  __x64_sys_execve
	  do_syscall_64
	  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe

This protection was previously present but was removed in commit
bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context handling"). Add back the
necessary rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pair around
perf_iterate_ctx() call in perf_event_exec().
