It looks like the validation was moved out of all of these functions in
7279adbd9bb8ef8f (ARM: perf: check ARMv7 counter validity on a per-pmu
basis), and we just missed the opportunity to simplify callers at the
time.

It would be nice if we mentioned that in the commit message -- it takes
a while to figure out and it's handy for reference.

Please make the braces consistent -- if one branch in an if .. else
chain needs them, they all do (see Documentation/CodingStyle).

Likewise here.

Otherwise this looks like a nice cleanup to me, so with those changes:

Thanks,
