    perf/x86: Serialize set_attr_rdpmc()
    
    [ Upstream commit bb9bb45f746b0f9457de9c3fc4da143a6351bdc9 ]
    
    Yue and Xingwei reported a jump label failure. It's caused by the lack of
    serialization in set_attr_rdpmc():
    
    CPU0                           CPU1
    
    Assume: x86_pmu.attr_rdpmc == 0
    
    if (val != x86_pmu.attr_rdpmc) {
      if (val == 0)
        ...
      else if (x86_pmu.attr_rdpmc == 0)
        static_branch_dec(&rdpmc_never_available_key);
    
                                    if (val != x86_pmu.attr_rdpmc) {
                                       if (val == 0)
                                          ...
                                       else if (x86_pmu.attr_rdpmc == 0)
         FAIL, due to imbalance --->      static_branch_dec(&rdpmc_never_available_key);
    
    The reported BUG() is a consequence of the above and of another bug in the
    jump label core code. The core code needs a separate fix, but that cannot
    prevent the imbalance problem caused by set_attr_rdpmc().
    
    Prevent this by serializing set_attr_rdpmc() locally.
