Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.18 78/92] arm64: perf: Disable PMU while processing
 counter overflows

From: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@....com>

[ Upstream commit 3cce50dfec4a5b0414c974190940f47dd32c6dee ]

The arm64 PMU updates the event counters and reprograms the
counters in the overflow IRQ handler without disabling the
PMU. This could potentially cause skews in for group counters,
where the overflowed counters may potentially loose some event
counts, while they are reprogrammed. To prevent this, disable
the PMU while we process the counter overflows and enable it
right back when we are done.

This patch also moves the PMU stop/start routines to avoid a
forward declaration.
