drm/i915/pmu: Fix PMU enable vs execlists tasklet race



Commit 99e48bf9 ("drm/i915: Lock out execlist tasklet while peeking
inside for busy-stats") added a tasklet_disable call in busy stats
enabling, but we failed to understand that the PMU enable callback runs
as an hard IRQ (IPI).

Consequence of this is that the PMU enable callback can interrupt the
execlists tasklet, and will then deadlock when it calls
intel_engine_stats_enable->tasklet_disable.

To fix this, I realized it is possible to move the engine stats enablement
and disablement to PMU event init and destroy hooks. This allows for much
simpler implementation since those hooks run in normal context (can
sleep).

v2: Extract engine_event_destroy. (Chris Wilson)
