Would you mind splitting this to core and x86 parts.

To align with the per cpu one: s/usages/usage/

I think we should be able to use refcount_t here instead?

For completeness, shouldn't this condition be added everywhere
->sched_task() can be called perhaps with the exception of
__perf_pmu_sched_task() which is only called when the task context
doesn't change.
