perf, x86: Fix double enable calls

hw_perf_enable() would enable already enabled events.

This causes problems with code that assumes that ->enable/->disable calls
are balanced (like the LBR code does).

What happens is that events that were already running and left in place
would get enabled again.

Avoid this by only enabling new events that match their previous
assignment.
