perf_events, x86: Fix validate_event bug

Browse source 
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_event_init().
