perf_counter, x86: protect per-cpu variables with compile barriers only



Per-cpu variables needn't to be protected with cpu barriers
(smp_wmb()). Protection is only needed for preemption on the same cpu
(rescheduling or the nmi handler). This can be done using a compiler
barrier only.

[ Impact: micro-optimization ]
