perf: Optimize perf_pmu_migrate_context()

Thomas reported that offlining CPUs spends a lot of time in
synchronize_rcu() as called from perf_pmu_migrate_context() even though
he's not actually using uncore events.

Turns out, the thing is unconditionally waiting for RCU, even if there's
no actual events to migrate.
