Anshuman Khandual 5cd7da19cb arm: perf: Remove PMU locking
Currently the 32-bit arm PMU drivers use the pmu_hw_events::lock spinlock in
their arm_pmu::{start,stop,enable,disable}() callbacks to protect hardware
state and event data.

This locking is not necessary as the perf core code already provides mutual
exclusion, disabling interrupts to serialize against the IRQ handler, and
using perf_event_context::lock to protect against concurrent modifications of
events cross-cpu.

The locking was removed from the arm64 (now PMUv3) PMU driver in commit:

2a0e2a02e4 ("arm64: perf: Remove PMU locking")

... and the same reasoning applies to all the 32-bit PMU drivers.

Remove the locking from the 32-bit PMU drivers.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
