Peter Zijlstra 003659fec9 perf/core: Fix perf_pmu_register() vs. perf_init_event()
There is a fairly obvious race between perf_init_event() doing
idr_find() and perf_pmu_register() doing idr_alloc() with an
incompletely initialized PMU pointer.

Avoid by doing idr_alloc() on a NULL pointer to register the id, and
swizzling the real struct pmu pointer at the end using idr_replace().

Also making sure to not set struct pmu members after publishing
the struct pmu, duh.

[ introduce idr_cmpxchg() in order to better handle the idr_replace()
  error case -- if it were to return an unexpected pointer, it will
  already have replaced the value and there is no going back. ]
