perf: fix perf bug in fork()

commit 6c72e3501d0d62fc064d3680e5234f3463ec5a86 upstream.

Oleg noticed that a cleanup by Sylvain actually uncovered a bug; by
calling perf_event_free_task() when failing sched_fork() we will not yet
have done the memset() on ->perf_event_ctxp[] and will therefore try and
'free' the inherited contexts, which are still in use by the parent
process.  This is bad..
