[PATCH 2/2] perf/arm-cmn: Implement shutdown method

Apparently a kexec-induced shutdown does not manage to close perf events
that processes still had open, and thus can leave the PMU running such
that the next kernel may find an overflow interrupt already asserted.
Although the next kernel should ideally be robust aganst that anyway,
let's be polite and disable the PMU to match what we do on remove.
