perf/core: Fix reentry problem in perf_output_read_group()
perf_output_read_group may respond to IPI request of other cores and invoke
__perf_install_in_context function. As a result, hwc configuration is modified.
causing inconsistency and unexpected consequences.
Interrupts are not disabled when perf_output_read_group reads PMU counter.
In this case, IPI request may be received from other cores.
As a result, PMU configuration is modified and an error occurs when
reading PMU counter:
