x86, perf: P4 PMU -- protect sensible procedures from preemption

And while we're "borrowing" counters from these subsets we should not be preempted (well, strictly speaking in p4_hw_config we just pre-set reference to the subset which allow to save some cycles in schedule routine if it happens on the same cpu). So use get_cpu/put_cpu pair. Also p4_pmu_schedule_events should use smp_processor_id rather than raw_ version. This allow us to catch up preemption issue (if there will ever be).
