perf: Move swevent_htable::recursion into task_struct.
The swevent_htable::recursion counter is used to avoid creating an
swevent while an event is processed to avoid recursion. The counter is
per-CPU and preemption must be disabled to have a stable counter.
perf_pending_task() disables preemption to access the counter and then
signal. This is problematic on PREEMPT_RT because sending a signal uses
a spinlock_t which must not be acquired in atomic on PREEMPT_RT because
it becomes a sleeping lock.
The atomic context can be avoided by moving the counter into the
task_struct. There is a 4 byte hole between futex_state (usually always
on) and the following perf pointer (perf_event_ctxp). After the
recursion lost some weight it fits perfectly.
Move swevent_htable::recursion into task_struct.
