perf_counter: powerpc: add nmi_enter/nmi_exit calls
Impact: fix potential deadlocks on powerpc Now that the core is using in_nmi() (added in e30e08f6, "perf_counter: fix NMI race in task clock"), we need the powerpc perf_counter_interrupt to call nmi_enter() and nmi_exit() in those cases where the interrupt happens when interrupts are soft-disabled. If interrupts were soft-enabled, we can treat it as a regular interrupt and do irq_enter/irq_exit around the whole routine. This lets us get rid of the test_perf_counter_pending() call at the end of perf_counter_interrupt, thus simplifying things a little.
