Subject: perf: fuzzer triggers NULL pointer derefreence in
 x86_schedule_events


So the perf_fuzzer caught this after about a week of fuzzing on a Haswell 
machine running a recent git kernel (pre 4.1-rc1 though).

We've seen this BUG before and various fixes were applied but apparently 
it wasn't enough.

Sadly it doesn't seem to be reproducible.

validate_group() -> x86_pmu.schedule_events() -> ???? -> variable_test_bit()
 (hard to tell which test bit with all the inlining going on).
