alpha: Shift perf event pending work earlier in timer interrupt

Browse Source 
Pending work from the performance event subsystem is executed in
the timer interrupt.  This patch shifts the call to
perf_event_do_pending() before the call to update_process_times()
as the latter may call back into the perf event subsystem and it
is prudent to have the pending work executed first.
