The validate_event() was failing on valid event
combinations. The function was assuming that if
x86_schedule_event() returned 0, it meant error.
But x86_schedule_event() returns the counter index
and 0 is a perfectly valid value. An error is returned
if the function returns a negative value.
Furthermore, validate_event() was also failing for
event groups because the event->pmu was not set until
after hw_perf_pmu_init().
