perf_counter: Fix double list iteration in per task precise stats

Browse Source 
Brice Goglin reported this crash with per task precise stats:

> I finally managed to test the threaded perfcounter statistics (thanks a

A silly copy-paste resulted in a messed up iteration which would
cause the OOPS.
