perf: Fix races in computing the header sizes
There are two races with the current code:
- Another event can join the group and compute a larger header_size
concurrently, if the smaller store wins we'll have an incorrect
header_size set.
- We compute the header_size after the event becomes active,
therefore its possible to use the size before its computed.
Remedy the first by moving the computation inside the ctx::mutex lock,
and the second by placing it _before_ perf_install_in_context().
