perf: Fix cloning

Alexander reported that when the 'original' context gets destroyed, no
new clones happen.

This can happen irrespective of the ctx switch optimization, any task
can die, even the parent, and we want to continue monitoring the task
hierarchy until we either close the event or no tasks are left in the
hierarchy.

perf_event_init_context() will attempt to pin the 'parent' context
during clone(). At that point current is the parent, and since current
cannot have exited while executing clone(), its context cannot have
passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). Therefore
perf_pin_task_context() cannot observe ctx->task == TASK_TOMBSTONE.

However, since inherit_event() does:

	if (parent_event->parent)
		parent_event = parent_event->parent;

it looks at the 'original' event when it does: is_orphaned_event().
This can return true if the context that contains the this event has
passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). And thus we'll fail to
clone the perf context.

Fix this by adding a new state: STATE_DEAD, which is set by
perf_release() to indicate that the filedesc (or kernel reference) is
dead and there are no observers for our data left.

Only for STATE_DEAD will is_orphaned_event() be true and inhibit
cloning.

STATE_EXIT is otherwise preserved such that is_event_hup() remains
functional and will report when the observed task hierarchy becomes
empty.
