perf_counter: don't count scheduler ticks as context switches 

The context-switch software counter gives inflated values at present
because each scheduler tick and each process-wide counter
enable/disable prctl gets counted as a context switch.

This happens because perf_counter_task_tick, perf_counter_task_disable
and perf_counter_task_enable all call perf_counter_task_sched_out,
which calls perf_swcounter_event to record a context switch event.

This fixes it by introducing a variant of perf_counter_task_sched_out
with two underscores in front for internal use within the perf_counter
code, and makes perf_counter_task_{tick,disable,enable} call it.  This
variant doesn't record a context switch event, and takes a struct
perf_counter_context *.  This adds the new variant rather than
changing the behaviour or interface of perf_counter_task_sched_out
because that is called from other code.

[ Impact: fix inflated context-switch event counts ]
