    MIPS/Perf-events: Remove pmu and event state checking in validate_event() · 266623b7
    Deng-Cheng Zhu authored
    Why removing pmu checking:
    Since 3.2-rc1, when arch level event init is called, the event is already
    connected to its PMU. Also, validate_event() is _only_ called by
    validate_group() in event init, so there is no need of checking or
    temporarily assigning event pmu during validate_group().
    
    Why removing event state checking:
    Events could be created in PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF (attr->disabled == 1), when
    these events go through this checking, validate_group() does dummy work.
    But we do need to do group scheduling emulation for them in event init.
    Again, validate_event() is _only_ called by validate_group().
