perf_counter: Fix an ipi-deadlock

Browse Source 
perf_pending_counter() is called from IRQ context and will call
perf_counter_disable(), however perf_counter_disable() uses
smp_call_function_single() which doesn't fancy being used with
IRQs disabled due to IPI deadlocks.

Fix this by making it use the local __perf_counter_disable()
call and teaching the counter_sched_out() code about pending
disables as well.

This should cover the case where a counter migrates before the
pending queue gets processed.
