Summary

Calling pmc_hook inside a critical section may result in a panic.

This happens when the user callchain is fetched, because it uses pmap_map_user_ptr, that tries to get the (sleepable) pmap lock when the needed vsid is not found.

Judging by the implementation in other platforms, intr_irq_handler in kern/subr_intr.c and what pmc_hook do, it seems safe to move pmc_hook outside the critical section.
