perf, x86: Fix hw_perf_enable() event assignment
What happens is that we schedule badly like:
<...>-1987 [019] 280.252808: x86_pmu_start: event-46/1300c0: idx: 0
<...>-1987 [019] 280.252811: x86_pmu_start: event-47/1300c0: idx: 1

<...>-1987 [019] 280.252836: x86_pmu_start: event-50/1300c0: idx: 32
<...>-1987 [019] 280.252837: x86_pmu_start: event-51/1300c0: idx: 32 *FAIL*
This happens because we only iterate the n_running events in the first
pass, and reset their index to -1 if they don't match to force a
re-assignment.
Now, in our RR example, n_running == 0 because we fully unscheduled, so
event-50 will retain its idx==32, even though in scheduling it will have
gotten idx=0, and we don't trigger the re-assign path.
The easiest way to fix this is the below patch, which simply validates
the full assignment in the second pass.
