Subject: perf/x86/intel: Fix PEBSv3 record drain

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

commit 8ef9b8455a2a3049efa9e46e8a6402b972a3eb41 upstream.

Alexander hit the WARN_ON_ONCE(!event) on his Skylake while running
the perf fuzzer.

This means the PEBSv3 record included a status bit for an inactive
event, something that _should_ not happen.

Move the code that filters the status bits against our known PEBS
events up a spot to guarantee we only deal with events we know about.

Further add "continue" statements to the WARN_ON_ONCE()s such that
we'll not die nor generate silly events in case we ever do hit them
again.
