Subject: x86_pmu_start WARN_ON.

I gave Vince's perf_fuzzer a run, hoping to trigger a different perf bug
that I've been seeing. Instead I hit a different bug.

It reproduces pretty quickly for me (within a minute or two of runtime).
Oddly the generated test case from the log file doesn't reproduce.
