perf: Stop all counters on reboot
Use the reboot notifier to detach all running counters on reboot, this solves a problem with kexec where the new kernel doesn't expect running counters (rightly so). It will however decrease the coverage of the NMI watchdog. Making a kexec specific reboot notifier callback would be best, however that would require touching all notifier callback handlers as they are not properly structured to deal with new state. As a compromise, place the perf reboot notifier at the very last position in the list.
