perf: Multiple task contexts

Browse Source 
Provide the infrastructure for multiple task contexts.

A more flexible approach would have resulted in more pointer chases
in the scheduling hot-paths. This approach has the limitation of a
static number of task contexts.

Since I expect most external PMUs to be system wide, or at least node
wide (as per the intel uncore unit) they won't actually need a task
context.
