SubjectRe: perf, x86: Fix PEBS enable/disable vs cpuc->enabled

This commit:

commit 4807e3d5dc7bb7057dd6ca3abb09f3da2eb8c323

perf, x86: Fix PEBS enable/disable vs cpuc->enabled

We should never call ->enable with the pmu enabled, and we _can_ have
->disable called with the pmu enabled.

introduced a new warning that's triggering on one of my test machines when I tried
counter multiplexing (more events than number of general purpose counters):

perf stat -e cycles,instructions,cache-misses,cache-misses,cache-misses,cache-misses,branch-misses -a -- sleep 10

The trace looks as follows:

WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel_ds.c:499 intel_pmu_enable_event+0x18f/0x2bc()

This was 2.6.38 + a few perf patches from the x86 tip. I believe stock 2.6.38 will behave similarly.

static void x86_pmu_start(struct perf_event *event, int flags)
{
...
if (flags & PERF_EF_RELOAD) {
WARN_ON_ONCE(!(event->hw.state & PERF_HES_UPTODATE));
x86_perf_event_set_period(event);
// missing return here?
}
..
}

I wonder if the code should return for the PERF_EF_RELOAD case, rather than falling through.
