perf_counter: Fix swcounter context invariance
perf_swcounter_is_counting() uses a lock, which means we cannot use swcounters from NMI or when holding that particular lock, this is unintended. The below removes the lock, this opens up race window, but not worse than the swcounters already experience due to RCU traversal of the context in perf_swcounter_ctx_event(). This also fixes the hard lockups while opening a lockdep tracepoint counter.
