[PATCH] perf powerpc: Don't call perf_event_disable from atomic context

The trinity syscall fuzzer triggered following WARN on powerpc:

While it looks like the first WARN is probably valid,
the other one is triggered by disabling event via
perf_event_disable from atomic context.

Using the event's pending_disable irq_work way to disable
event from atomic context.
