perf: Fix missing RCU reader protection in perf_event_clear_cpumask()

Browse Source 
Running rcutorture scenario TREE05, the below warning is triggered.

[   32.604594] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

In perf_event_clear_cpumask(), uses list_for_each_entry_rcu() without an
obvious RCU read-side critical section.

Either pmus_srcu or pmus_lock is good enough to protect the pmus list.
In the current context, pmus_lock is already held. The
list_for_each_entry_rcu() is not required.
