This patch is an optimization in perf_event_task_sched_in() to avoid scheduling
the events twice in a row. Without it, the perf_disable()/perf_enable() pair
is invoked twice, thereby pinned events counts while scheduling flexible events
and we go throuh hw_perf_enable() twice. By encapsulating, the whole sequence
into perf_disable()/perf_enable() we ensure, hw_perf_enable() is going to be
invoked only once because of the refcount protection.
