perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()
With the new throttling/unthrottling code introduced with commit: e050e3f0a71b ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling") we occasionally hit two WARN_ON_ONCE() checks in: - intel_pmu_pebs_enable() - intel_pmu_lbr_enable() - x86_pmu_start() The assertions are no longer problematic. There is a valid path where they can trigger but it is harmless. The assertion can be triggered with: $ perf record -e instructions:pp .... Leading to paths: intel_pmu_pebs_enable intel_pmu_enable_event x86_perf_event_set_period x86_pmu_start perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context perf_event_task_tick scheduler_tick And: intel_pmu_lbr_enable intel_pmu_enable_event x86_perf_event_set_period x86_pmu_start perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context. perf_event_task_tick scheduler_tick cpuc->enabled is always on because when we get to perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context() the PMU is not totally disabled. Furthermore when we need to adjust a period, we only stop the event we need to change and not the entire PMU. Thus, when we re-enable, cpuc->enabled is already set. Note that when we stop the event, both pebs and lbr are stopped if necessary (and possible).
