perf_counter: Rework the perf counter disable/enable
The current disable/enable mechanism is:
token = hw_perf_save_disable();
...
/* do bits */
...
hw_perf_restore(token);
This works well, provided that the use nests properly. Except we don't.
x86 NMI/INT throttling has non-nested use of this, breaking things. Therefore
provide a reference counter disable/enable interface, where the first disable
disables the hardware, and the last enable enables the hardware again.
[ Impact: refactor, simplify the PMU disable/enable logic ]
