[PATCH v2 1/2] perf/core: Update perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context()

[namhyung]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx>

It was unnecessarily disabling and enabling PMUs for each event.  It
should be done at PMU level, otherwise it'd increase the interrupt
latency when there are slow (uncore or virtual) PMUs and lots of events
on the PMUs.

Add pmu_ctx->nr_freq counter to check it at each PMU.  As pmu context
has separate active lists for pinned group and flexible group, factor
out a new function to do the job.  Also it can skip pmu contexts with
no active events (due to multiplexing or hybrid PMUs).

Another minor optimization is that it can skip PMUs w/ CAP_NO_INTERRUPT
even if it needs to unthrottle sampling events.
