perf: Fix mux_interval hrtimer wreckage

Thomas stumbled over the hrtimer_forward_now() in
perf_event_mux_interval_ms_store() and noticed its broken-ness.

You cannot just change the expiry time of an active timer, it will
destroy the red-black tree order and cause havoc.

Change it to (re)start the timer instead, (re)starting a timer will
dequeue and enqueue a timer and therefore preserve rb-tree order.

Since we cannot enqueue remotely, wrap the thing in
cpu_function_call(), this however mandates that we restrict ourselves
to online cpus. Also serialize the entire setting so we don't get
multiple concurrent threads trying to update to different values.

Also fix a problem in perf_mux_hrtimer_restart(), checking against
hrtimer_active() can actually loose us the timer when timer->state ==
HRTIMER_STATE_CALLBACK and the callback has already decided NORESTART.

Furthermore it doesn't make any sense to test
hrtimer_callback_running() when we already tested hrtimer_active(),
but with the above change, we explicitly must call it when
callback_running.

Lastly, rename a few functions:

  s/perf_cpu_hrtimer_/perf_mux_hrtimer_/ -- because I could not find
                                            the mux timer function

  s/\<hr\>/timer/ -- because that's the normal way of calling things.
