That whole thing can be written much saner like:

	if (event->pending_sigtrap) {
		event->pending_sigtrap = 0;
		if (state != PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF &&
		    !event->pending_work) {
			event->pending_work = 1;
			local_inc(&event->ctx->nr_pending);
			task_work_add(current, &event->pending_task, TWA_RESUME);
		}
		local_dec(&event->ctx->nr_pending);
	}

Except now we have two nr_pending ops -- I'm torn.
