perf tools: Fix jump label always changing during tracing
Intel PT decoding walks the object code to reconstruct the trace. A jump label change during tracing causes decoding errors. The "Enable close-on-exec flag on perf file descriptor" patch caused there to be always a jump label change. It was found that using a per-cpu context instead of a per-thread context for the probe of the close-on-exec feature, made the problem go away.
