perf/x86: Reset destroy callback on event init failure
perf_init_event tries multiple init callbacks and does not reset the
event state between tries. When x86_pmu_event_init runs, it
unconditionally sets the destroy callback to hw_perf_event_destroy. On
the next init attempt after x86_pmu_event_init, in perf_try_init_event,
if the pmu's capabilities includes PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE, the destroy
callback will be run. However, if the next init didn't set the destroy
callback, hw_perf_event_destroy will be run (since the callback wasn't
reset).
Looking at other pmu init functions, the common pattern is to only set
the destroy callback on a successful init. Resetting the callback on
failure tries to replicate that pattern.
This was discovered after commit f11dd0d80555 ("perf/x86/amd/ibs: Extend
PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE to IBS Op") when the second (and only second)
run of the perf tool after a reboot results in 0 samples being
generated. The extra run of hw_perf_event_destroy results in
active_events having an extra decrement on each perf run. The second run
has active_events == 0 and every subsequent run has active_events < 0.
When active_events == 0, the NMI handler will early-out and not record
any samples.
