perf_counter: Fix an ipi-deadlock
perf_pending_counter() is called from IRQ context and will call perf_counter_disable(), however perf_counter_disable() uses smp_call_function_single() which doesn't fancy being used with IRQs disabled due to IPI deadlocks. Fix this by making it use the local __perf_counter_disable() call and teaching the counter_sched_out() code about pending disables as well. This should cover the case where a counter migrates before the pending queue gets processed.
