[PATCH 4/8] perf: update the context time on exit

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Mon Nov 23 2009 - 05:41:51 EST


It appeared we did call update_event_times() on exit, but we failed to
update the context time, which renders the former moot.

XXX: locking is a bit iffy, we call update_event_times under
ctx->mutex instead of ctx->lock, should probably be fixed in
some way.
