perf: Fix function pointer case

With the advent of CFI it is no longer acceptible to cast function
pointers.

The robot complains thusly:

  kernel-events-core.c:warning:cast-from-int-(-)(struct-perf_cpu_pmu_context-)-to-remote_function_f-(aka-int-(-)(void-)-)-converts-to-incompatible-function-type
