sparc64: Fix pcr_ops initialization and usage bugs.
Christopher reports that perf_event_print_debug() can crash in uniprocessor builds. The crash is due to pcr_ops being NULL. This happens because pcr_arch_init() is only invoked by smp_cpus_done() which only executes in SMP builds. init_hw_perf_events() is closely intertwined with pcr_ops being setup properly, therefore: 1) Call pcr_arch_init() early on from init_hw_perf_events(), instead of from smp_cpus_done(). 2) Do not hook up a PMU type if pcr_ops is NULL after pcr_arch_init(). 3) Move init_hw_perf_events to a later initcall so that it we will be sure to invoke pcr_arch_init() after all cpus are brought up. Finally, guard the one naked sequence of pcr_ops dereferences in __global_pmu_self() with an appropriate NULL check.
