perf: Store active software events in a hashlist

Browse source 
Each time a software event triggers, we need to walk through
the entire list of events from the current cpu and task contexts
to retrieve a running perf event that matches.
We also need to check a matching perf event is actually counting.

This walk is wasteful and makes the event fast path scaling
down with a growing number of events running on the same
contexts.

To solve this, we store the running perf events in a hashlist to
get an immediate access to them against their type:event_id when
they trigger.

v2: - Fix SWEVENT_HLIST_SIZE definition (and re-learn some basic
      maths along the way)
    - Only allocate hlist for online cpus, but keep track of the
      refcount on offline possible cpus too, so that we allocate it
      if needed when it becomes online.
    - Drop the kref use as it's not adapted to our tricks anymore.

v3: - Fix bad refcount check (address instead of value). Thanks to
      Eric Dumazet who spotted this.
    - While exiting cpu, move the hlist release out of the IPI path
      to lock the hlist mutex sanely.
