ftrace, perf: Avoid infinite event generation loop
Vince's perf-trinity fuzzer found yet another 'interesting' problem.
When we sample the irq_work_exit tracepoint with period==1 (or
PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD) and we add an fasync SIGNAL handler we create an
infinite event generation loop:
,-> <IPI>
| irq_work_exit() ->
| trace_irq_work_exit() ->
| ...
| __perf_event_overflow() -> (due to fasync)
| irq_work_queue() -> (irq_work_list must be empty)
'--------- arch_irq_work_raise()
Similar things can happen due to regular poll() wakeups if we exceed
the ring-buffer wakeup watermark, or have an event_limit.
To avoid this, dis-allow sampling this particular tracepoint.
In order to achieve this, create a special perf_perm function pointer
for each event and call this (when set) on trying to create a
tracepoint perf event.
