Gleb Natapov b202952075 perf, core: Rate limit perf_sched_events jump_label patching
jump_lable patching is very expensive operation that involves pausing all
cpus. The patching of perf_sched_events jump_label is easily controllable
from userspace by unprivileged user.

When te user runs a loop like this:

  "while true; do perf stat -e cycles true; done"

... the performance of my test application that just increments a counter
for one second drops by 4%.

This is on a 16 cpu box with my test application using only one of
them. An impact on a real server doing real work will be worse.

Performance of KVM PMU drops nearly 50% due to jump_lable for "perf
record" since KVM PMU implementation creates and destroys perf event
frequently.

This patch introduces a way to rate limit jump_label patching and uses
it to fix the above problem.

I believe that as jump_label use will spread the problem will become more
common and thus solving it in a generic code is appropriate. Also fixing
it in the perf code would result in moving jump_label accounting logic to
perf code with all the ifdefs in case of JUMP_LABEL=n kernel. With this
patch all details are nicely hidden inside jump_label code.
