[PATCH v4 2/9] arm64: perf: Remove PMU locking

[Julien Thierry <julien.thierry@arm.com>]

Since the PMU driver uses direct registers for counter
setup/manipulation, locking around these operations is no longer needed.

For operations that can be called with interrupts enabled, preemption
still needs to be disabled to ensure the programming of the PMU is
done on the expected CPU and not migrated mid-programming.
