[PATCH 1/7] perf/core: Add pmu get/put

If a pmu is unregistered while there's an active event, perf will still
access the pmu via event->pmu, even after the event is destroyed. This
makes it difficult for drivers like i915 that take a reference on the
device when the event is created and put it when it's destroyed.
Currently the following use-after-free happens just after destroying the
event:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in exclusive_event_destroy+0xd8/0xf0
Read of size 4 at addr ffff88816e2bb63c by task perf/7748
Whenever and event is created, get a pmu reference to use in event->pmu
and just before calling module_put(), drop the reference..
