perf_events: Improve task_sched_in()

This patch is an optimization in perf_event_task_sched_in() to avoid
scheduling the events twice in a row.

Without it, the perf_disable()/perf_enable() pair is invoked twice,
thereby pinned events counts while scheduling flexible events and we go
throuh hw_perf_enable() twice.

By encapsulating, the whole sequence into perf_disable()/perf_enable() we
ensure, hw_perf_enable() is going to be invoked only once because of the
refcount protection.
