Subject: [PATCH 0/4] perf: Make SIGTRAP and __perf_pending_irq() work on RT.

Hi,

Arnaldo reported that "perf test sigtrap" fails on PREEMPT_RT. Sending
the signal gets delayed until event_sched_out() which then uses
task_work_add() for its delivery. This breaks on PREEMPT_RT because the
signal is delivered with disabled preemption.

While looking at this, I also stumbled upon __perf_pending_irq() which
requires disabled interrupts but this is not the case on PREEMPT_RT.

This series aim to address both issues while not introducing a new issue
at the same time ;)
Any testing is appreciated.

Sebastian
