perf: Reorder cpu hotplug rwsem against cred_guard_mutex

sys_perf_event_open() takes the hotplug rwsem before the
cred_guard_mutex. The exit() path has the reverse lock order.

The hotplug protection in sys_perf_event_open() is not required before
taking the cred_guard_mutex, so it can be reordered there.
