The trinity syscall fuzzer triggered following WARN() on powerpc:

While it looks like the first WARN() is probably valid, the other one is
triggered by disabling event via perf_event_disable() from atomic context.

The event is disabled here in case we were not able to emulate
the instruction that hit the breakpoint. By disabling the event
we unschedule the event and make sure it's not scheduled back.

But we can't call perf_event_disable() from atomic context, instead
we need to use the event's pending_disable irq_work method to disable it.
