oprofile/x86: add comment to counter-in-use warning
Currently, oprofile fails silently on platforms where a non-OS entity such as the system firmware "enables" and uses a performance counter. There is a warning in the code for this case. The warning indicates an already running counter. If oprofile doesn't collect data, then try using a different performance counter on your platform to monitor the desired event. Delete the counter from the desired event by editing the /usr/share/oprofile/<cpu_type>/<cpu>/events file. If the event cannot be monitored by any other counter, contact your hardware or BIOS vendor.
