[PATCH 2/4] perf: Enqueue SIGTRAP always via task_work.

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

A signal is delivered by raising irq_work() which works from any context
including NMI. irq_work() can be delayed if the architecture does not
provide an interrupt vector. In order not to lose a signal, the signal
is injected via task_work during event_sched_out().

Instead going via irq_work, the signal could be added directly via
task_work. The signal is sent to current and can be enqueued on its
return path to userland instead triggering irq_work.

Queue signal via task_work. Remove perf_event::pending_sigtrap and
and use perf_event::pending_work instead.
