Subject: [PATCH 1/3] perf events: fix WARN_ON_ONCE for 64-bit raw data, SW events

This check does not work out for 64-bit counter:

    sizeof(u32) + sizeof(u64) = 4 + 8 = 12

which does not pass the WARN_ON_ONCE test. I'm guessing (hoping
really) that the intent is that the size of the raw data is a
multiple of 4 bytes, not 8.
