perf/x86: Warn to early_printk() in case irq_work is too slow

It will start spewing to early_printk() (which is a lot nicer to use from NMI context too) when it fails to queue the IRQ-work because its already enqueued. It does have the false-positive for when two CPUs trigger the warn concurrently, but that should be rare and some extra clutter on the early printk shouldn't be a problem.
