Subject: [RFC PATCH] squash: be more careful stopping oacontrol updates

This makes sure we've stopped touching oacontrol before we start
resetting OA, PM and clock gating. Shouldn't strictly be needed since we
know that oacontrol will have been disabled before we start destroying
an event but it seems worth highlighting that update_oacontrol() could
still be running asynchronously and stopping it early in case it might
become an issue in the future.
