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:

     CPU0                                         CPU1
      __se_sys_perf_event_open
perf_install_in_context
  perf_output_read_group                                  smp_call_function_single
    for_each_sibling_event(sub, leader) {                   generic_exec_single
      if ((sub != event) &&                                   remote_function
  (sub->state == PERF_EVENT_STATE_ACTIVE))                    |

  hwc->idx = -1; // event->hwc.idx is set to -1

      sub->pmu->read(sub);

  armv8pmu_read_counter
    armv8pmu_read_hw_counter
      int idx = event->hw.idx; // idx = -1
      u64 val = armv8pmu_read_evcntr(idx);
u32 counter = ARMV8_IDX_TO_COUNTER(idx); // invalid counter = 30
