perf: Fix 'perf sched record' deadlock

Browse source 
perf sched record can deadlock a box should the holder of
handle->data->lock take an interrupt, and then attempt to
acquire an rq lock held by a CPU trying to acquire the
same lock. Disable interrupts.

   CPU0                            CPU1
   sched event with rq->lock held
                                   grab handle->data->lock
   spin on handle->data->lock
                                   interrupt
                                   try to grab rq->lock
