I think I picked it up from x86_pmu_enable(). I don't think
you necessarily need it here. Not clear to me why it was
in x86_pmu_enable() to begin with.

I will post a new version of the patch which fixes some bugs and
also implements true fast path (reuse of previous assignment). It turned
out, things were a bit more complicated than what I had in v5.
