ARM: perf: disable the pagefault handler when reading from user space

Under perf, the fp unwinding scheme requires access to user space memory
and can provoke a pagefault via call to __copy_from_user_inatomic from
user_backtrace. This unwinding can take place in response to an interrupt
(__perf_event_overflow). This is undesirable as we may already have
mmap_sem held for write. One example being a process that calls mprotect
just as a the PMU counters overflow.

An example that can provoke this behaviour:
perf record -e event:tocapture --call-graph fp ./application_to_test

This patch addresses this issue by disabling pagefaults briefly in
user_backtrace (as is done in the other architectures: ARM64, x86, Sparc etc.).

Without the patch a deadlock occurs when __perf_event_overflow is called
while reading the data from the user space:

 [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
 3.16.0-rc2-00038-g0ed7ff6 #46 Not tainted
 ---------------------------------------------
 stress/1634 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<c001dc04>] do_page_fault+0xa8/0x428

 but task is already holding lock:
 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}, at: [<c00f4098>] SyS_mprotect+0xa8/0x1c8

 other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&mm->mmap_sem);
  lock(&mm->mmap_sem);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation
