Revert "sched, perf: Use a single callback into the scheduler"

Browse source 
This reverts commit cb04ff9ac4 ("sched, perf: Use a single
callback into the scheduler").

Before this change was introduced, the process switch worked
like this (wrt. to perf event schedule):

     schedule (prev, next)
       - schedule out all perf events for prev
       - switch to next
       - schedule in all perf events for current (next)

After the commit, the process switch looks like:

     schedule (prev, next)
       - schedule out all perf events for prev
       - schedule in all perf events for (next)
       - switch to next

The problem is, that after we schedule perf events in, the pmu
is enabled and we can receive events even before we make the
switch to next - so "current" still being prev process (event
SAMPLE data are filled based on the value of the "current"
process).

Thats exactly what we see for test__PERF_RECORD test. We receive
SAMPLES with PID of the process that our tracee is scheduled
from.

Discussed with Peter Zijlstra:

 > Bah!, yeah I guess reverting is the right thing for now. Sad

 > hand-over of current and we thus don't receive the 'wrong'
 > events.

 > I rather liked we could do away with both that black-spot and
 > clean up the code a little, but apparently people rely on it.
