Hi Hoan,

This largely looks good; I have one minor comment.

For this to be atomic, we need to disable the counters for the duration
of the IRQ handler, which we don't do today.

Regardless, we should do that to ensure that groups are self-consistent.

i.e. in xgene_pmu_isr() we should call ops->stop_counters() just after
taking the pmu lock, and we should call ops->start_counters() just
before releasing it.

With that:
