perf: Fix perf_event_do_pending() fallback callsite
Paul questioned the context in which we should call
perf_event_do_pending(). After looking at that I found that it should be
called from IRQ context these days, however the fallback call-site is
placed in softirq context. Ammend this by placing the callback in the IRQ
timer path.
