[IA64] another perfmon fix (take2)
- pfm_context_load(): change return value from EINVAL to EBUSY when context is already loaded. - pfm_check_task_state(): pass test if context state is MASKED. It is safe to give access on PFM_CTX_MASKED because the PMU state (PMD) is stable and saved in software state. This helps multiplexing programs such as the example given in libpfm-3.1.
