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.
