This patch provides guarantee to the sysadmin that when TFA is disabled, no PMU
event is using PMC3 when the echo command returns. Vice-Versa, when TFA
is enabled, PMU can use PMC3 immediately (to eliminate possible multiplexing).

Then on another connection, sysadmin does:

  $ echo  1 >/sys/devices/cpu/allow_tsx_force_abort

Then perf stat adjusts the events immediately:

     9.016620104    124,231,260,146      branches [74.94%]

And vice-versa if the syadmin does:

  $ echo  0 >/sys/devices/cpu/allow_tsx_force_abort

Events are again spread over the 4 counters:
