Subject: [PATCH 4/4] perf: Split __perf_pending_irq() out of perf_pending_irq()

perf_pending_irq() invokes perf_event_wakeup() and __perf_pending_irq().
The former is in charge of waking any tasks which wait to be woken up
while the latter disables perf-events.

The irq_work perf_pending_irq(), while this an irq_work, the callback
is invoked in thread context on PREEMPT_RT. This is needed because all
the waking functions (wake_up_all(), kill_fasync()) acquire sleep locks
which must not be used with disabled interrupts.
Disabling events, as done by __perf_pending_irq(), expects a hardirq
context and disabled interrupts. This requirement is not fulfilled on
PREEMPT_RT.

Split functionality based on perf_event::pending_disable into irq_work
named `pending_disable_irq' and invoke it in hardirq context on
PREEMPT_RT. Rename the split out callback to perf_pending_disable().
