[PATCH 1/7] perf_counter: fix dynamic irq_period logging

[Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>]

[-- Attachment #1: perf_counter-fix-dyn-period.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1806 bytes --]

We call perf_adjust_freq() from perf_counter_task_tick() which is is called
under the rq->lock causing lock recursion. However, it's no longer required
to be called under the rq->lock, so remove it from under it.

Also, fix up some related comments.
