powerpc: Provide a way to defer perf counter work until interrupts are enabled

Because 64-bit powerpc uses lazy (soft) interrupt disabling, it is
possible for a performance monitor exception to come in when the
kernel thinks interrupts are disabled (i.e. when they are
soft-disabled but hard-enabled).  In such a situation the performance
monitor exception handler might have some processing to do (such as
process wakeups) which can't be done in what is effectively an NMI
handler.

This provides a way to defer that work until interrupts get enabled,
either in raw_local_irq_restore() or by returning from an interrupt
handler to code that had interrupts enabled.  We have a per-processor
flag that indicates that there is work pending to do when interrupts
subsequently get re-enabled.  This flag is checked in the interrupt
return path and in raw_local_irq_restore(), and if it is set,
perf_counter_do_pending() is called to do the pending work.
