perf/x86: Fix shared register mutual exclusion enforcement 

This patch fixes a problem with the shared registers mutual
exclusion code and incremental event scheduling by the
generic perf_event code.

There was a bug whereby the mutual exclusion on the shared
registers was not enforced because of incremental scheduling
abort due to event constraints. As an example on Intel
Nehalem, consider the following events:

group1= L1D_CACHE_LD:E_STATE,OFFCORE_RESPONSE_0:PF_RFO,L1D_CACHE_LD:I_STATE
group2= L1D_CACHE_LD:I_STATE

The L1D_CACHE_LD event can only be measured by 2 counters. Yet, there
are 3 instances here. The first group can be scheduled and is committed.
Then, the generic code tries to schedule group2 and this fails (because
there is no more counter to support the 3rd instance of L1D_CACHE_LD).
But in x86_schedule_events() error path, put_event_contraints() is invoked
on ALL the events and not just the ones that just failed. That causes the
"lock" on the shared offcore_response MSR to be released. Yet the first group
is actually scheduled and is exposed to reprogramming of that shared msr by
the sibling HT thread. In other words, there is no guarantee on what is
measured.

This patch fixes the problem by tagging committed events with the
PERF_X86_EVENT_COMMITTED tag. In the error path of x86_schedule_events(),
only the events NOT tagged have their constraint released. The tag
is eventually removed when the event in descheduled.
