perf: Fix NULL deref in inheritance code
Liming found a NULL deref when a task has a perf context but no counters when it forks. This can occur in two cases, a race during construction where the fork hits after installing the context but before the first counter gets inserted, or more reproducably, a fork after the last counter is closed (which leaves the context around).
