        ARM: 6902/1: perf: Remove erroneous check on active_events
    
        When initialising a PMU, there is a check to protect against races with
        other CPUs filling all of the available event slots. Since armpmu_add
        checks that an event can be scheduled, we do not need to do this at
        initialisation time. Furthermore the current code is broken because it
        assumes that atomic_inc_not_zero will unconditionally increment
        active_counts and then tries to decrement it again on failure.
    
        This patch removes the broken, redundant code.
