Ah, you're saying this,

and this, should also have something like

	if (!needs_cb && pebs_needs_sched_cb(cpuc))
		perf_sched_cb_inc(event->ctx->pmu)

Because the event we just removed was the one inhibiting FREERUNNING and
we can now let it rip again.

Yes, you're right. Let me try and see if I can make that better.

Thanks!
