perf: Fix crash in swevents
Frederic reported that because swevents handling doesn't disable IRQs
anymore, we can get a recursion of perf_adjust_period(), once from
overflow handling and once from the tick.
If both call ->disable, we get a double hlist_del_rcu() and trigger
a LIST_POISON2 dereference.
Since we don't actually need to stop/start a swevent to re-programm
the hardware (lack of hardware to program), simply nop out these
callbacks for the swevent pmu.
