arm64: perf: Defer irq_work to IPI_IRQ_WORK

Browse Source 
When handling events, armv8pmu_handle_irq() calls perf_event_overflow(),
and subsequently calls irq_work_run() to handle any work queued by
perf_event_overflow(). As perf_event_overflow() raises IPI_IRQ_WORK when
queuing the work, this isn't strictly necessary and the work could be
handled as part of the IPI_IRQ_WORK handler.

In the common case the IPI handler will run immediately after the PMU IRQ
handler, and where the PE is heavily loaded with interrupts other handlers
may run first, widening the window where some counters are disabled.

In practice this window is unlikely to be a significant issue, and removing
the call to irq_work_run() would make the PMU IRQ handler NMI safe in
addition to making it simpler, so let's do that.
