perf_counter: Remove ACPI quirk

Browse Source 
We had a disable/enable around acpi_idle_do_entry() due to an erratum
in an early prototype CPU i had access to. That erratum has been fixed
in the BIOS so remove the quirk.

The quirk also kept us from profiling interrupts that hit the ACPI idle
instruction - so this is an improvement as well, beyond a cleanup and
a micro-optimization.

[ Impact: improve profiling scope, cleanup, micro-optimization ]
