Subject: [PATCH 4.1 018/202] perf/x86/intel: Fix constraint access

4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

commit ebfb4988f0378e2ac3b4a0aa1ea20d724293f392 upstream.

Sasha reported that we can get here with .idx==-1, and
cpuc->event_constraints unallocated.
