I tried this patch, and even though it seemed to fix one of the NMI storms
I was experiencing I've managed to trigger again using a different random
seed.

I've been trying to track down a trace of what is triggering things, but
this is very difficult as the full log isn't making it to the serial
console, even when I fsync() stdout.

Maybe related, but the following messages tend to happen a lot while
fuzzing, and always happen before the fuzzing that eventually locks up:

The warnings are for
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!(event->hw.state & PERF_HES_STOPPED)))
and
WARN_ON_ONCE(hwc->state & PERF_HES_STOPPED);
