perf: Fix contexted inheritance

Linus reported that the RCU lockdep annotation bits triggered for this
rcu_dereference() because we're not holding rcu_read_lock().

Going over the code I cannot convince myself its correct:

 - holding a ref on the parent_ctx, doesn't avoid it being uncloned
   concurrently (as the comment says), so we can race with a free.

 - holding parent_ctx->mutex doesn't avoid the above free from taking
   place either, it would at best avoid parent_ctx from being freed.

I.e. the warning is correct. To fix the bug, serialize against the
unclone_ctx() call by extending the reach of the parent_ctx->lock.
