Peter Zijlstra c33a0bc4e4 perf_counter: fix race in perf_output_*
When two (or more) contexts output to the same buffer, it is possible
to observe half written output.

Suppose we have CPU0 doing perf_counter_mmap(), CPU1 doing
perf_counter_overflow(). If CPU1 does a wakeup and exposes head to
user-space, then CPU2 can observe the data CPU0 is still writing.

[ Impact: fix occasionally corrupted profiling records ]
