Peter Zijlstra 9e35ad388b 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 ]
