    Revert "arm64: Enable perf events based hard lockup detector" · b90d72a6

    This reverts commit 367c820e.
    
    lockup_detector_init() makes heavy use of per-cpu variables and must be
    called with preemption disabled. Usually, it's handled early during boot
    in kernel_init_freeable(), before SMP has been initialised.
    
    Since we do not know whether or not our PMU interrupt can be signalled
    as an NMI until considerably later in the boot process, the Arm PMU
    driver attempts to re-initialise the lockup detector off the back of a
    device_initcall(). Unfortunately, this is called from preemptible
    context and results in the following splat:
    
      | BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1
      | caller is debug_smp_processor_id+0x20/0x2c

    Rather than bodge this with raw_smp_processor_id() or randomly disabling
    preemption, simply revert the culprit for now until we figure out how to
    do this properly.
