perf: Fix time locking
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Most sites updating ctx->time and event times do so under
ctx->lock, make sure they all do.

This was made possible by removing the __perf_event_read() call
from __perf_event_sync_stat(), which already had this lock
taken.
