perf: Optimize perf_event_task_ctx()

Remove a rcu_read_{,un}lock() pair and a few conditionals.

We can remove the rcu_read_lock() by increasing the scope of one
in the calling function.

We can do away with the system_state check if the machine still
boots after this patch (seems to be the case).

We can do away with the list_empty() check because the bare
list_for_each_entry_rcu() reduces to that now that we've removed
everything else.
