perf/core: Collapse more IPI loops

This patch collapses the two 'hard' cases, which are
perf_event_{dis,en}able().

I cannot seem to convince myself the current code is correct.

So starting with perf_event_disable(); we don't strictly need to test
for event->state == ACTIVE, ctx->is_active is enough. If the event is
not scheduled while the ctx is, __perf_event_disable() still does the
right thing.  Its a little less efficient to IPI in that case,
over-all simpler.

For perf_event_enable(); the same goes, but I think that's actually
broken in its current form. The current condition is: ctx->is_active
&& event->state == OFF, that means it doesn't do anything when
!ctx->active && event->state == OFF. This is wrong, it should still
mark the event INACTIVE in that case, otherwise we'll still not try
and schedule the event once the context becomes active again.

This patch implements the two function using the new
event_function_call() and does away with the tricky event->state
tests.
