3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit c7999c6f3fed9e383d3131474588f282ae6d56b9 upstream.
I ran the perf fuzzer, which triggered some WARN()s which are due to
trying to stop/restart an event on the wrong CPU.
Use the normal IPI pattern to ensure we run the code on the correct CPU.
