Subject: perf: warning in x86_pmu_start triggered by perf_fuzzer

Hello

I've managed to trigger this one multiple times on my Haswell box running 
4.1-rc2.  It's not easily reproducible though.

The WARNING in question is

        if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!(event->hw.state & PERF_HES_STOPPED)))
                return;

These problems I'm seeing now all seem to be weird race conditions, I 
should try applying the one mutex locking patch to see if that helps.
