bpf: fix corruption on concurrent perf_event_output calls
When tracing and networking programs are both attached in the system and both use event-output helpers that eventually call into perf_event_output(), then we could end up in a situation where the tracing attached program runs in user context while a cls_bpf program is triggered on that same CPU out of softirq context. Since both rely on the same per-cpu perf_sample_data, we could potentially corrupt it. This can only ever happen in a combination of the two types; all tracing programs use a bpf_prog_active counter to bail out in case a program is already running on that CPU out of a different context. XDP and cls_bpf programs by themselves don't have this issue as they run in the same context only. Therefore, split both perf_sample_data so they cannot be accessed from each other.
