[PATCH v4] arm: perf: Directly handle SMP platforms with one SPI

[Daniel Thompson]

Some ARM platforms mux the PMU interrupt of every core into a single
SPI. On such platforms if the PMU of any core except 0 raises an interrupt
then it cannot be serviced and eventually, if you are lucky, the spurious
irq detection might forcefully disable the interrupt.

On these SoCs it is not possible to determine which core raised the
interrupt so workaround this issue by queuing irqwork on the other
cores whenever the primary interrupt handler is unable to service the
interrupt.

The u8500 platform has an alternative workaround that dynamically alters
the affinity of the PMU interrupt. This workaround logic is no longer
required so the original code is removed as is the hook it relied upon.

Tested on imx6q (which has fours cores/PMUs all muxed to a single SPI).

Notes:
    v2 was tested on u8500 (thanks to Linus Walleij). v4 doesn't change
    anything conceptual but the changes were sufficient for me not to
    preserve the Tested-By:.
    
    v4:
     * Ripped out the logic that tried to preserve the operation of the
       spurious interrupt detector. It was complex and not really needed
       (Will Deacon).
     * Removed a redundant memory barrier and added a comment explaining
       why it is not needed (Will Deacon).
     * Made fully safe w.r.t. hotplug by falling back to a work queue
       if there is a hotplug operation in flight when the PMU interrupt
       comes in (Will Deacon). The work queue code paths have been tested
       synthetically (by changing the if condition).
     * Posted the correct, as in compilable and tested, version of the code
       (Will Deacon).
    
    v3:
     * Removed function pointer indirection when deploying workaround code
       and reorganise the code accordingly (Mark Rutland).
     * Move the workaround state tracking into the existing percpu data
       structure (Mark Rutland).
     * Renamed cret to percpu_ret and rewrote the comment describing the
       purpose of this variable (Mark Rutland).
     * Copy the cpu_online_mask and use that to act on a consistent set of
       cpus throughout the workaround (Mark Rutland).
     * Changed "single_irq" to "muxed_spi" to more explicitly describe
       the problem.
    
    v2:
     * Fixed build problems on systems without SMP.
    
    v1:
     * Thanks to Lucas Stach, Russell King and Thomas Gleixner for
       critiquing an older, completely different way to tackle the
       same problem.
