perf/x86: Serialize set_attr_rdpmc()

Yue and Xingwei reported a jump label failure. It's caused by the lack of
serialization in set_attr_rdpmc():

CPU0                           CPU1

Assume: x86_pmu.attr_rdpmc == 0

if (val != x86_pmu.attr_rdpmc) {
  if (val == 0)
    ...
  else if (x86_pmu.attr_rdpmc == 0)
    static_branch_dec(&rdpmc_never_available_key);

				if (val != x86_pmu.attr_rdpmc) {
				   if (val == 0)
				      ...
				   else if (x86_pmu.attr_rdpmc == 0)
     FAIL, due to imbalance --->      static_branch_dec(&rdpmc_never_available_key);

The reported BUG() is a consequence of the above and of another bug in the
jump label core code. The core code needs a separate fix, but that cannot
prevent the imbalance problem caused by set_attr_rdpmc().

Prevent this by serializing set_attr_rdpmc() locally.
