perf_counter: fix counter freeing logic
Fix counter lifetime bugs which explain the crashes reported by
Marcelo Tosatti and Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
The new rule is: flushing + freeing is only done for a task's
own counters, never for other tasks.
[ Impact: fix crashes/lockups with inherited counters ]
