and that's the problem.  uncore_find_online_sibling() does all kinds of 
wrong things including sticking active uncore structures in 
uncore->free_when_cpu_online

Then uncore_online() comes along and frees those structures.

Then some other part of the kernel comes and re-uses the free'd data.

Then when we try to start an event, all of the fields are invalid because 
the uncore pointer is pointing to re-used data.

I don't have a patch because I am not 100% clear on what 
uncore_find_online_sibling() is doing in the first place.
