Miscellaneous perf events fixes:

 - Fix deadlock in the perf_mmap() failure path (Peter Zijlstra)

 - Intel ACR (Auto Counter Reload) fixes (Dapeng Mi):

   - Fix validation and configuration of ACR masks
   - Fix ACR rescheduling bug causing stale masks
   - Disable the PMI on ACR-enabled hardware
   - Enable ACR on Panther Cover uarch too

 Thanks,

	Ingo
