HPX performance counters not found

[JiakunYan]

Expected Behavior

Octo-Tiger completes.

Actual Behavior

Octo-Tiger (or HPX) occasionally complains some performance counters are not found.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

Run Octo-Tiger with the following counters enabled:

--hpx:print-counter=/octotiger*/compute/gpu*kokkos*
--hpx:print-counter=/arithmetics/add@/octotiger*/compute/gpu/hydro_kokkos
--hpx:print-counter=/arithmetics/add@/octotiger*/compute/gpu/hydro_kokkos_aggregated

Specifications

Since there counters are created by Octo-Tiger, I think it is an Octo-Tiger problem rather than an HPX problem.

I suspected there were some data races between the counter registration and usage.

This is on NCSA Delta. I think @diehlpk also encountered this problem on Ookami.

@G-071 What should we do about that?

@G-071 can we close that pull request?
