perf/x86/intel: Fix race in intel_pmu_disable_event()
New race in x86_pmu_stop() was introduced by replacing the
atomic __test_and_clear_bit() of cpuc->active_mask by separate
test_bit() and __clear_bit() calls in the following commit:
3966c3feca3f ("x86/perf/amd: Remove need to check "running" bit in NMI handler")
The race causes panic for PEBS events with enabled callchains:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000

The event is configured to make samples from PEBS drain code,
but when it's disabled, we'll go through NMI path instead,
where data->callchain will not get allocated and we'll crash:
x86_pmu_stop
test_bit(hwc->idx, cpuc->active_mask)
intel_pmu_disable_event(event)
{
...
intel_pmu_pebs_disable(event);
...
EVENT OVERFLOW -> <NMI>
intel_pmu_handle_irq
handle_pmi_common
TEST PASSES -> test_bit(bit, cpuc->active_mask))
perf_event_overflow
perf_prepare_sample
{
...
if (!(sample_type & __PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN_EARLY))
data->callchain = perf_callchain(event, regs);
CRASH -> size += data->callchain->nr;
}
</NMI>
...
x86_pmu_disable_event(event)
}
__clear_bit(hwc->idx, cpuc->active_mask);
Fixing this by disabling the event itself before setting
off the PEBS bit.
