perf_counter: uncouple data_head updates from wakeups
Keep data_head up-to-date irrespective of notifications. This fixes the case where you disable a counter and don't get a notification for the last few pending events, and it also allows polling usage. [ Impact: increase precision of perfcounter mmap-ed fields ] Suggested-by: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> LKML-Reference: <20090505155436.925084300@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
