perf_counter: initialize the per-cpu context earlier
percpu scheduling for perfcounters wants to take the context lock,
but that lock first needs to be initialized. Currently it is an
early_initcall() - but that is too late, the task tick runs much
sooner than that.
Call it explicitly from the scheduler init sequence instead.
