[PATCH] ARM: perf: remove erroneous check on active_events

[mark.rutland@arm.com (Mark Rutland)]

When initialising a PMU, there is a check to protect against races with
other CPUs filling all of the available event slots. Since armpmu_add
checks that an event can be scheduled, we do not need to do this at
initialisation time. Furthermore the current code is broken because it
assumes that atomic_inc_not_zero will unconditionally increment
active_counts and then tries to decrement it again on failure.

This patch removes the broken, redundant code.
