perf/x86/intel: Rework the large PEBS setup code
In order to allow optimizing perf_pmu_sched_task() we must ensure
perf_sched_cb_{inc,dec}() are no longer called from NMI context; this
means that pmu::{start,stop}() can no longer use them.
Prepare for this by reworking the whole large PEBS setup code.
The current code relied on the cpuc->pebs_enabled state, however since
that reflects the current active state as per pmu::{start,stop}() we
can no longer rely on this.
Introduce two counters: cpuc->n_pebs and cpuc->n_large_pebs which
count the total number of PEBS events and the number of PEBS events
that have FREERUNNING set, resp.. With this we can tell if the current
setup requires a single record interrupt threshold or can use a larger
buffer.
This also improves the code in that it re-enables the large threshold
once the PEBS event that required single record gets removed.
