perf_counter: call hw_perf_save_disable/restore around group_sched_in

I noticed that when enabling a group via the PERF_COUNTER_IOC_ENABLE
ioctl on the group leader, the counters weren't enabled and counting
immediately on return from the ioctl, but did start counting a little
while later (presumably after a context switch).

The reason was that __perf_counter_enable calls group_sched_in which
calls hw_perf_group_sched_in, which on powerpc assumes that the caller
has called hw_perf_save_disable already.  Until commit 46d686c6
("perf_counter: put whole group on when enabling group leader") it was
true that all callers of group_sched_in had called
hw_perf_save_disable first, and the powerpc hw_perf_group_sched_in
relies on that (there isn't an x86 version).

This fixes the problem by putting calls to hw_perf_save_disable /
hw_perf_restore around the calls to group_sched_in and
counter_sched_in in __perf_counter_enable.  Having the calls to
hw_perf_save_disable/restore around the counter_sched_in call is
harmless and makes this call consistent with the other call sites
of counter_sched_in, which have all called hw_perf_save_disable first.

[ Impact: more precise counter group disable/enable functionality ]
