[PATCH 3/3] ARCv2: perf: Ensure perf intr gets enabled on all cores

This was the second perf intr issue
perf sampling on multicore requires intr to be enabled on all cores.
ARC perf probe code used helper arc_request_percpu_irq() which calls
- request_percpu_irq() on core0
- enable_percpu_irq() on all all cores (including core0)
genirq requires that request be made ahead of enable call.
However if perf probe happened on non core0 (observed on a 3.18 kernel),
enable would get called ahead of request, failing obviously and
rendering perf intr disabled on all such cores
[ 11.120000] 1 ARC perf : 8 counters (48 bits), 113 conditions, [overflow IRQ support]
[ 11.130000] 1 -----> enable_percpu_irq() IRQ 20 failed
[ 11.140000] 3 -----> enable_percpu_irq() IRQ 20 failed
[ 11.140000] 2 -----> enable_percpu_irq() IRQ 20 failed
[ 11.140000] 0 =====> request_percpu_irq() IRQ 20
[ 11.140000] 0 -----> enable_percpu_irq() IRQ 20
Fix this fragility, by calling request_percpu_irq() on whatever core
calls probe (there is no requirement on which core calls this anyways)
and then calling enable on each cores.
Interestingly this started as invesigation of STAR 9000838902:
"sporadically IRQs enabled on perf prob"
which was about occassional boot spew as request_percpu_irq got called
non-locally (from an IPI), and re-enabled interrupts in following path
proc_mkdir -> spin_unlock_irq()
which the irq work code didn't like.
