Subject: [PATCH 1/4] arm: pmu: Fix non-devicetree probing

From: Mark Salter <msalter@...hat.com>

There is a problem in the non-devicetree PMU probing where some
probe functions may get the number of supported events through
smp_call_function_any() using the arm_pmu supported_cpus mask.
But at the time the probe function is called, the supported_cpus
mask is empty so the call fails. This patch makes sure the mask
is set before calling the init function rather than after.
