perf_counter: minimize context time updates

Push the update_context_time() calls up the stack so that we get less
invokations and thereby a less noisy output:

before:

 # ./perfstat -e 1:0 -e 1:1 -e 1:1 -e 1:1 -l ls > /dev/null

 Performance counter stats for 'ls':

      10.163691  cpu clock ticks      (msecs)  (scaled from 98.94%)
      10.215360  task clock ticks     (msecs)  (scaled from 98.18%)
      10.185549  task clock ticks     (msecs)  (scaled from 98.53%)
      10.183581  task clock ticks     (msecs)  (scaled from 98.71%)

 Wall-clock time elapsed:    11.912858 msecs

after:

 # ./perfstat -e 1:0 -e 1:1 -e 1:1 -e 1:1 -l ls > /dev/null

 Performance counter stats for 'ls':

       9.316630  cpu clock ticks      (msecs)
       9.280789  task clock ticks     (msecs)
       9.280789  task clock ticks     (msecs)
       9.280789  task clock ticks     (msecs)

 Wall-clock time elapsed:     9.574872 msecs
