s390/cpum_sf: Fix and protect memory allocation of SDBs with mutex
Reservation of the PMU hardware is done at first event creation
and is protected by a pair of mutex_lock() and mutex_unlock().
After reservation of the PMU hardware the memory
required for the PMUs the event is to be installed on is
allocated by allocate_buffers() and alloc_sampling_buffer().
This done outside of the mutex protection.
Without mutex protection two or more concurrent invocations of
perf_event_init() may run in parallel.
This can lead to allocation of Sample Data Blocks (SDBs)
multiple times for the same PMU.
Prevent this and protect memory allocation of SDBs by
mutex.
