[PATCH v2 1/4] perf: Fix wrong name in comment for struct perf_cpu_context

Commit 0793a61d4df8 ("performance counters: core code") added the perf
subsystem (then called Performance Counters) to Linux, creating the struct
perf_cpu_context. The comment for the struct referred to it as a "struct
perf_counter_cpu_context".

Commit cdd6c482c9ff ("perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters ->
Performance Events") changed the comment to refer to a "struct
perf_event_cpu_context", which was still the wrong name for the struct.

Change the comment to say "struct perf_cpu_context".
