perf/x86: Fix 'active_events' imbalance
Commit 1b7b938f1817 ("perf/x86/intel: Fix PMI handling for Intel PT") conditionally increments active_events in x86_add_exclusive() but unconditionally decrements in x86_del_exclusive(). These extra decrements can lead to the situation where active_events is zero and thus the PMI handler is 'disabled' while we have active events on the PMU generating PMIs. This leads to a truckload of: Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 21 on CPU 28. Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled? Dazed and confused, but trying to continue messages and generally messes up perf. Remove the condition on the increment, double increment balanced by a double decrement is perfectly fine. Restructure the code a little bit to make the unconditional inc a bit more natural.
