I am not quite sure about this one. I guess the following is sufficient. 
Could you please help me double check? 

Thanks,

static inline u64 perf_event_count(struct perf_event *event)
{
        struct perf_event *master;
        u64 count;

again:
        master = READ_ONCE(event->dup_master);
        if (master == EVENT_TOMBSTONE)
                goto again;

        if (likely(master != event))
                count = local64_read(&event->count);
        else
                count = local64_read(&event->master_count);

        return count + atomic64_read(&event->child_count);
}
