perf: Do no try to schedule task events if there are none

perf stat: Failure with "Operation not supported"
perf_event_sched_in() shouldn't try to schedule task events if there
are none otherwise task's ctx->is_active will be set and will not be
cleared during sched_out. This will prevent newly added events from
being scheduled into the task context.
Fixes a boo-boo in commit 1d5f003f5a ("perf: Do not set task_ctx
pointer in cpuctx if there are no events in the context").

Since commit f59de89 ("lockdep: Clear whole lockdep_map on initialization"),
lockdep_init_map() will clear all the struct. But it will break
lock_set_class()/lock_set_subclass(). A typical race condition
is like below:
CPU A CPU B
lock_set_subclass(lockA);
lock_set_class(lockA);
lockdep_init_map(lockA);
/* lockA->name is cleared */
memset(lockA);
__lock_acquire(lockA);
/* lockA->class_cache[] is cleared */
register_lock_class(lockA);
look_up_lock_class(lockA);
WARN_ON_ONCE(class->name !=
lock->name);
lock->name = name;
So restore to what we have done before commit f59de89 but annotate
->lock with kmemcheck_mark_initialized() to suppress the kmemcheck
warning reported in commit f59de89.

The expiry function compares the timer against current time and does
not expire the timer when the expiry time is >= now. That's wrong. If
the timer is set for now, then it must expire.
Make the condition expiry > now for breaking out the loop.

jump_lable patching is very expensive operation that involves pausing all
cpus. The patching of perf_sched_events jump_label is easily controllable
from userspace by unprivileged user.
When te user runs a loop like this:
"while true; do perf stat -e cycles true; done"
... the performance of my test application that just increments a counter
for one second drops by 4%.
This is on a 16 cpu box with my test application using only one of
them. An impact on a real server doing real work will be worse.
Performance of KVM PMU drops nearly 50% due to jump_lable for "perf
record" since KVM PMU implementation creates and destroys perf event
frequently.
This patch introduces a way to rate limit jump_label patching and uses
it to fix the above problem.
I believe that as jump_label use will spread the problem will become more
common and thus solving it in a generic code is appropriate. Also fixing
it in the perf code would result in moving jump_label accounting logic to
perf code with all the ifdefs in case of JUMP_LABEL=n kernel. With this
patch all details are nicely hidden inside jump_label code.

Cure this by keeping a perf_event_context::nr_freq counter that counts the
number of active events that require frequency adjustments and use this in a
similar fashion to the already existing nr_events != nr_active test in
perf_rotate_context().
By being able to exclude both rotation and frequency adjustments a-priory for
the common case we can avoid the otherwise superfluous PMU disable.
