Subject: [RFC][PATCH 6/8] perf/x86: Clear ->event_constraint[] on put

The current code unconditionally clears cpuc->event_constraint[i]
before calling get_event_constraints(.idx=i). The only site that cares
is intel_get_event_constraints() where the c1 load will always be
NULL.

However, always calling get_event_constraints() on all events is
wastefull, most times it will return the exact same result. Therefore
retain the logic in intel_get_event_constraints() and change the
generic code to only clear the constraint on put.
