perf: Cure event->pending_disable race
[ Upstream commit 28a967c3a2f99fa3b5f762f25cb2a319d933571b ] Because event_sched_out() checks event->pending_disable _before_ actually disabling the event, it can happen that the event fires after it checks but before it gets disabled. This would leave event->pending_disable set and the queued irq_work will try and process it. However, if the event trigger was during schedule(), the event might have been de-scheduled by the time the irq_work runs, and perf_event_disable_local() will fail. Fix this by checking event->pending_disable _after_ we call event->pmu->del(). This depends on the latter being a compiler barrier, such that the compiler does not lift the load and re-creates the problem.
