So long as "perf_start" and "perf_stop" here mean
"pm_runtime_get()/put()", this can work, but in that case maybe a better
name should be used, because no real starting or stopping of anything
takes place here. Since pmu::event_init and event::destroy happen in
allocation/deallocation paths and at event scheduling, it's not a good
idea to actually start anything here.
