perf/core: Protect PMU device removal with a 'pmu_bus_running' check, to fix CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y kernel panic
CAI Qian reported a crash in the PMU uncore device removal code,
enabled by the CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y option:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=147688837328451
The reason for the crash is that perf_pmu_unregister() tries to remove
a PMU device which is not added at this point. We add PMU devices
only after pmu_bus is registered, which happens in the
perf_event_sysfs_init() call and sets the 'pmu_bus_running' flag.
The fix is to get the 'pmu_bus_running' flag state at the point
the PMU is taken out of the PMU list and remove the device
later only if it's set.
