Subject: [PATCH 3.16 288/328] perf/core: Fix perf_pmu_unregister() locking

3.16.62-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

commit a9f9772114c8b07ae75bcb3654bd017461248095 upstream.

When we unregister a PMU, we fail to serialize the @pmu_idr properly.
Fix that by doing the entire thing under pmu_lock.
