CPU folks say no need for isb. They mentioned that the lack of an isb
after the armv7_pmnc_enable_counter() call will leave the action of
enabling the counter "in-flight". The window is probably pretty short on
an SMP kernel because of the spin_unlock right after with the barriers
in it, but the same can't be said for a UP kernel.
Also, the fuzzer didn't find anything else, but I found a bug in the
bitmap logic, updated and reran the fuzzer this morning. Everything
looks good.
