perf_event_disable() is not allowed in preemption disabled context, since
perf_event_disable()
-> perf_event_ctx_lock()
-> perf_event_ctx_lock_nested()
-> mutex_lock_nested()
and it causes

I know little about perf. It seems perf_event_disable() is not used
widely by other kernel component. Is there a alternative? If no, I think
expose disable/enable helper from pt driver like this series seems OK.
