Subject: [RFC][PATCH] perf: Remove superfluous perf_pmu_disable calls


Hai,

So pmu::add() and pmu::del() are guaranteed to be called with ctx->lock
held, which implies that local IRQs are disabled.

Furthermore, it is also guaranteed that perf_pmu_disable() is already
called when we call these methods.

The following patch removes all perf_pmu_{dis,en}able() calls (and
local_irq_disable() where encountered) from pmu::{add,del}()
implementations.

pmu::{start,stop}() are a little bit tricky, since we can call them from
the PMI handler, but we do guarantee local IRQs are disabled. PPC in
particular seems to need perf_pmu_{dis,en}able() there to actually
reprogram things, this is safe for them since they don't have actual
NMIs I suppose.
