perf: Fix mux_interval hrtimer wreckage
Thomas stumbled over the hrtimer_forward_now() in perf_event_mux_interval_ms_store() and noticed its broken-ness. You cannot just change the expiry time of an active timer, it will destroy the red-black tree order and cause havoc. Change it to (re)start the timer instead, (re)starting a timer will dequeue and enqueue a timer and therefore preserve rb-tree order. Since we cannot enqueue remotely, wrap the thing in cpu_function_call(), this however mandates that we restrict ourselves to online cpus. Also serialize the entire setting so we don't get multiple concurrent threads trying to update to different values. Also fix a problem in perf_mux_hrtimer_restart(), checking against hrtimer_active() can actually loose us the timer when timer->state == HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK and the callback has already decided NORESTART. Furthermore it doesn't make any sense to test hrtimer_callback_running() when we already tested hrtimer_active(), but with the above change, we explicitly must call it when callback_running. Lastly, rename a few functions: s/perf_cpu_hrtimer_/perf_mux_hrtimer_/ -- because I could not find the mux timer function s/\<hr\>/timer/ -- because that's the normal way of calling things.
