Remove an update_context_time() call from the perf_event_task_sched_out() path and into the branch its needed. The call was both superfluous, because __perf_event_sched_out() already does it, and wrong, because it was done without holding ctx->lock. Place it in perf_event_sync_stat(), which is the only place it is needed and which does already hold ctx->lock.
