perf/x86: Fix 'active_events' imbalance

Commit 1b7b938f1817 ("perf/x86/intel: Fix PMI handling for Intel PT") conditionally
increments active_events in x86_add_exclusive() but unconditionally decrements in
x86_del_exclusive().

These extra decrements can lead to the situation where
active_events is zero and thus the PMI handler is 'disabled'
while we have active events on the PMU generating PMIs.

This leads to a truckload of:

Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 21 on CPU 28.
Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?
Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

messages and generally messes up perf.

Remove the condition on the increment, double increment balanced
by a double decrement is perfectly fine.

Restructure the code a little bit to make the unconditional inc
a bit more natural.
