perf: Annotate cpuctx->ctx.mutex to avoid a lockdep splat
Lockdep spotted:
	loop_1b_instruc/1899 is trying to acquire lock:
	 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810e1908>] perf_trace_init+0x3b/0x2f7
	but task is already holding lock:
	 (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff810eb45b>] perf_event_init_context+0xc0/0x218
	which lock already depends on the new lock.
	the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
	-> #3 (&ctx->mutex){+.+.+.}:
	-> #2 (cpu_hotplug.lock){+.+.+.}:
	-> #1 (module_mutex){+.+...}:
	-> #0 (event_mutex){+.+.+.}:
But because the deadlock would be cpuhotplug (cpu-event) vs fork
(task-event) it cannot, in fact, happen. We can annotate this by giving the
perf_event_context used for the cpuctx a different lock class from those
used by tasks.
