perf cgroup: Fix refcount usage
When converting from atomic_t to refcount_t we didn't follow the usual step of initializing it to one before taking any new reference, which trips over checking if taking a reference for a freed refcount_t, fix it.

It's 4.12-rc7, with node v4.4.1. I'm building 4.13-rc1 now, as I hit what I think is another unrelated perf bug and I'm starting to wonder what else is broken on that version:
(root) /mnt/src/linux-4.12-rc7/tools/perf # ./perf record -F 99 -a -e cpu-clock --cgroup=docker/f9e9d5df065b14646e8a11edc837a13877fd90c171137b2ba3feb67a0201cb65 -g
perf: /mnt/src/linux-4.12-rc7/tools/include/linux/refcount.h:108:refcount_inc: Assertion `!(!refcount_inc_not_zero(r))' failed.
Aborted
that used to work...

Testing it:
Before:
# perf stat -e cycles -C 0 --cgroup / perf: /home/acme/git/linux/tools/include/linux/refcount.h:108: refcount_inc: Assertion `!(!refcount_inc_not_zero(r))' failed. Aborted (core dumped) #
After:
# perf stat -e cycles -C 0 --cgroup / ^C Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':
132,081,393 cycles /
2.492942763 seconds time elapsed#
