[PATCH] perf_events: fix validate_event bug

[Stephane Eranian <eranian@googlemail.com>]

	The validate_event() was failing on valid event
	combinations. The function was assuming that if
	x86_schedule_event() returned 0, it meant error.
	But x86_schedule_event() returns the counter index
	and 0 is a perfectly valid value. An error is returned
	if the function returns a negative value.

	Furthermore, validate_event() was also failing for
	event groups because the event->pmu was not set until
	after hw_perf_pmu_init().
