Subject: perf: perf_fuzzer still triggers bts warning

Hello

I'm running 4.8-rc6 git from this morning (with the various perf fixes).

Fuzzing on Skylake I still managed to trigger the following warning.

It maps to

void intel_bts_enable_local(void)
{
...
        /*
         * Here we transition from INACTIVE to ACTIVE;
         * if we instead are STOPPED from the interrupt handler,
         * stay that way. Can't be ACTIVE here though.
         */
        if (WARN_ON_ONCE(state == BTS_STATE_ACTIVE))
                return;
