arm64: perf: Add missing ISB in armv8pmu_enable_event()
Writes to the PMXEVTYPER_EL0 register are not self-synchronising. In armv8pmu_enable_event(), the PE can reorder configuring the event type after we have enabled the counter and the interrupt. This can lead to an interrupt being asserted because the of the previous event type that we were counting, not the one that we've just enabled. The same rationale applies to writes to the PMINTENSET_EL1 register. The PE can reorder enabling the interrupt at any point in the future after we have enabled the event. Prevent both situations from happening by adding an ISB just before we enable the event counter.
