perf/core: Fix perf_event_disable_inatomic() race

Thomas-Mich Richter reported he triggered a WARN()ing from event_function_local()
on his s390. The problem boils down to:

	CPU-A				CPU-B

	perf_event_overflow()
	  perf_event_disable_inatomic()
	    @pending_disable = 1
	    irq_work_queue();

	sched-out
	  event_sched_out()
	    @pending_disable = 0

					sched-in
					perf_event_overflow()
					  perf_event_disable_inatomic()
					    @pending_disable = 1;
					    irq_work_queue(); // FAILS

	irq_work_run()
	  perf_pending_event()
	    if (@pending_disable)
	      perf_event_disable_local(); // WHOOPS

The problem exists in generic, but s390 is particularly sensitive
because it doesn't implement arch_irq_work_raise(), nor does it call
irq_work_run() from it's PMU interrupt handler (nor would that be
sufficient in this case, because s390 also generates
perf_event_overflow() from pmu::stop). Add to that the fact that s390
is a virtual architecture and (virtual) CPU-A can stall long enough
for the above race to happen, even if it would self-IPI.

Adding a irq_work_sync() to event_sched_in() would work for all hardare
PMUs that properly use irq_work_run() but fails for software PMUs.

Instead encode the CPU number in @pending_disable, such that we can
tell which CPU requested the disable. This then allows us to detect
the above scenario and even redirect the IPI to make up for the failed
queue.
