Vince Weaver and Stephane Eranian reported warnings in the PEBS
code when running the perf fuzzer. Stephane wrote:

The only way I can make this work is if ->status only has !PEBS events
set, because if it has both set we'll take that slow path which masks
out the !PEBS bits.

After masking there are 3 options:

 - there is one bit set, and its @bit, we increment counts[bit].

 - there are multiple bits set, we increment error[] for each set bit,
   we do not increment counts[].

 - there are no bits set, we do nothing.

The intent was to never increment counts[] for !PEBS events.

Now if we start out with only a single !PEBS event set, we'll pass the
test and increment counts[] for a !PEBS and hit the warn.
