Yuck! Use a static_branch() or something. This is a gnarly nest of code
that runs 99.9% of the time to conclude a negative. IOW a complete waste
of cycles for everybody not running a P4 space heater.

And that too seems like an overly complicated set of tests and branches.
This should be effectivly true for the 99% common case.

The bitmap_{empty,zero}() do indeed compile into single instructions,
neat!

I'm failing to see the correctness of the !is_sampling_event() part
there.

Idem.

That's horrific, what's wrong with something like:

if (!atomic_read(&current->mm->context.perf_rdpmc_allowed))
return;

How is this Intel specific code? IIRC AMD has RDPMC too.
