perf/hwpb: Invoke __perf_event_disable() if interrupts are already disabled While debugging a warning message on PowerPC while using hardware breakpoints, it was discovered that when perf_event_disable is invoked through hw_breakpoint_handler function with interrupts disabled, a subsequent IPI in the code path would trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE message in smp_call_function_single function. This patch calls __perf_event_disable() when interrupts are already disabled, instead of perf_event_disable().
