[PATCH] powerpc/perf: Fix PMU callbacks to clear pending PMI before resetting an overflown PMC

Running perf fuzzer showed below in dmesg logs:
"Can't find PMC that caused IRQ"
This means a PMU exception happened, but none of the PMC's (Performance
Monitor Counter) were found to be overflown. There are some corner cases
that clears the PMCs after PMI gets masked. In such cases, the perf
interrupt handler will not find the active PMC values that had caused
the overflow and thus leads to this message while replaying.
Case 1: PMU Interrupt happens during replay of other interrupts and
counter values gets cleared by PMU callbacks before replay:
During replay of interrupts like timer, __do_irq and doorbell exception, we
conditionally enable interrupts via may_hard_irq_enable(). This could
potentially create a window to generate a PMI. Since irq soft mask is set
to ALL_DISABLED, the PMI will get masked here. We could get IPIs run before
perf interrupt is replayed and the PMU events could deleted or stopped.
This will change the PMU SPR values and resets the counters. Snippet of
ftrace log showing PMU callbacks invoked in "__do_irq":

Case 2: PMI's masked during local_* operations, example local_add.
If the local_add operation happens within a local_irq_save, replay of
PMI will be during local_irq_restore. Similar to case 1, this could
also create a window before replay where PMU events gets deleted or
stopped.
Patch adds a fix to update the PMU callback functions (del,stop,enable) to
check for pending perf interrupt. If there is an overflown PMC and pending
perf interrupt indicated in Paca, clear the PMI bit in paca to drop that
sample. In case of power_pmu_del, also clear the MMCR0 PMAO bit which
otherwise could lead to spurious interrupts in some corner cases. Example,
a timer after power_pmu_del which will re-enable interrupts since PMI is
cleared and triggers a PMI again since PMAO bit is still set.
We can't just replay PMI any time. Hence this approach is preferred rather
than replaying PMI before resetting overflown PMC. Patch also documents
core-book3s on a race condition which can trigger these PMC messages during
idle path in PowerNV.
