Revert "arm64: Enable perf events based hard lockup detector"



This reverts commit 367c820e.

lockup_detector_init() makes heavy use of per-cpu variables and must be
called with preemption disabled. Usually, it's handled early during boot
in kernel_init_freeable(), before SMP has been initialised.

Since we do not know whether or not our PMU interrupt can be signalled
as an NMI until considerably later in the boot process, the Arm PMU
driver attempts to re-initialise the lockup detector off the back of a
device_initcall(). Unfortunately, this is called from preemptible
context and results in the following splat:

  | BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1
  | caller is debug_smp_processor_id+0x20/0x2c
  | CPU: 2 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.10.0+ #276

  |   kernel_init+0x1c/0x1cc
  |   ret_from_fork+0x10/0x30

Rather than bodge this with raw_smp_processor_id() or randomly disabling
preemption, simply revert the culprit for now until we figure out how to
do this properly.
