perf: Optimize context reschedule for single PMU cases
Currently re-scheduling a context will reschedule all active PMUs for that context, even if it is known only a single event is added. Namhyung reported that changing this to only reschedule the affected PMU when possible provides significant performance gains under certain conditions. Therefore, allow partial context reschedules for a specific PMU, that of the event modified. While the patch looks somewhat noisy, it mostly just propagates a new @pmu argument through the callchain and modifies the epc loop to only pick the 'epc->pmu == @pmu' case.
