[PATCH v2] perf: fix perf_event_context->time

[PATCH v2] perf: fix perf_event_context->time

[Song Liu]

Time readers rely on perf_event_context->[time|timestamp|timeoffset] to get
accurate time_enabled and time_running for an event. The difference between
ctx->timestamp and ctx->time is the among of time when the context is not
enabled. __update_context_time(ctx, false) is used to increase timestamp,
but not time. Therefore, it should only be called in ctx_sched_in() when
EVENT_TIME was not enabled.
