perf/core: Fix pmus_lock vs. pmus_srcu ordering

Commit a63fbed776c7 ("perf/tracing/cpuhotplug: Fix locking order")
placed pmus_lock inside pmus_srcu, this makes perf_pmu_unregister()
trip lockdep.

Move the locking about such that only pmu_idr and pmus (list) are
modified while holding pmus_lock. This avoids doing synchronize_srcu()
while holding pmus_lock and all is well again.
