Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf: Fix EXIT event notification

The perf_event_task_ctx needs to be called with preemption
disabled, since it's checking for currently scheduled cpu
against event cpu.

We disable preemption for task related perf event context
if there's one defined, leaving up to the chance which cpu
it gets scheduled in.
