oprofile, x86: Enable preemption during pci device setup in IBS init



IBS initialization is a mix of per-core register access and per-node
pci device setup. Register access should be pinned to the cpu, but pci
setup must run with preemption enabled.

This patch better separates the code into non-/preemptible sections
and fixes sleeping with preemption disabled. See bug message below.

Fixes also freeing the eilvt entry by introducing put_eilvt().

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:824
