[PATCH] drivers/perf: arm_pmu: Request PMU SPIs with IRQF_PER_CPU

Since the PMU register interface is banked per CPU, CPU PMU interrrupts
cannot be handled by a CPU other than the one with the PMU asserting the
interrupt. This means that migrating PMU SPIs, as we do during a CPU
hotplug operation doesn't make any sense and can lead to the IRQ being
disabled entirely if we route a spurious IRQ to the new affinity target.

This has been observed in practice on AMD Seattle, where CPUs on the
non-boot cluster appear to take a spurious PMU IRQ when coming online,
which is routed to CPU0 where it cannot be handled.

This patch passes IRQF_PERCPU for PMU SPIs and forcefullt sets their
affinity prior to requesting them, ensuring that they cannot
be migrated during hotplug events.
