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.
