[PATCH] fix race caused by hyperthreads when online an offline cpu

[Zhou Chengming]

After online an offline cpu, cpu_hw_events.excl_thread_id will always be
set to 1 in intel_pmu_cpu_starting() even when its sibling's excl_thread_id
is also 1. Then the two siblings will use the same state in their shared
hw_hw_events.excl_cntrs, it will cause race problem.

The race senario is like this:

Two cpu (7 and 19) are siblings, excl_thread_id of 7 and 19 are 0 and 1.
After offline and online cpu 7, intel_pmu_cpu_starting() will set excl_thread_id
of cpu 7 to 1. Then both cpu 7 and 19 will use the same state in their
shared hw_hw_events.excl_cntrs.

cpu7					cpu19
---					---
intel_start_scheduling()
 set state->sched_started = true
					intel_put_excl_constraints() {
					 if (!state->sched_started)
					  spin_lock	// not executed
intel_stop_scheduling()
 set state->sched_started = false
					if (!state->sched_started)
					 spin_unlock	// excuted
