If the kernel is compiled with the CONFIG_LOCKDEP option, the conditional
might_sleep_if() deep in kmem_cache_alloc() will generate the following
trace, and potentially cause a deadlock when another LBR event is added:
[] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/sched/mm.h:196
[] Call Trace:
[] kmem_cache_alloc+0x36/0x250
[] intel_pmu_lbr_add+0x152/0x170
[] x86_pmu_add+0x83/0xd0
Make it symmetric with the release_lbr_buffers() call and mirror the
existing DS buffers.
