In commit bc09c21 "Fix finding overflowed PMC in interrupt" we added
a printk() to the PMU exception handler. Unfortunately that is not safe.
The problem is that the PMU exception runs even when interrupts are soft
disabled. We do this so that we can profile parts of the kernel that
have interrupts soft-disabled.
But by calling printk() from the exception handler, we can potentially
deadlock in the printk code on logbuf_lock, eg:

The fix is to not call printk() from the PMU exception handler. Instead
add a counter to track spurious PMU interrupts and display them in
/proc/interrupts.
