Subject: perf/core: Fix event_function_local()

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

commit cca2094605efe6ccf43ff2876dd5bccc799202d8 upstream.

Vincent reported triggering the WARN_ON_ONCE() in event_function_local().

While thinking through cases I noticed that by using event_function()
directly, we miss the inactive case usually handled by
event_function_call().

Therefore construct a blend of event_function_call() and
event_function() that handles the cases relevant to
event_function_local().
