perf/core: Fix RCU problem with cgroup context switching code 

The RCU checker detected RCU violation in the cgroup switching routines
perf_cgroup_sched_in() and perf_cgroup_sched_out(). We were dereferencing
cgroup from task without holding the RCU lock.

Fix this by holding the RCU read lock. We move the locking from
perf_cgroup_switch() to avoid double locking.
