Will Deacon 8b6a3fe8fa perf/core: Use this_cpu_ptr() when stopping AUX events
When tearing down an AUX buf for an event via perf_mmap_close(),
__perf_event_output_stop() is called on the event's CPU to ensure that
trace generation is halted before the process of unmapping and
freeing the buffer pages begins.

The callback is performed via cpu_function_call(), which ensures that it
runs with interrupts disabled and is therefore not preemptible.
Unfortunately, the current code grabs the per-cpu context pointer using
get_cpu_ptr(), which unnecessarily disables preemption and doesn't pair
the call with put_cpu_ptr(), leading to a preempt_count() imbalance and
a BUG when freeing the AUX buffer later on:

This patch uses this_cpu_ptr() instead of get_cpu_ptr(), since preemption is
already disabled by the caller.
