not sure, what you are expecting here, this function is inline with
other perf driver code added in driver/perf

timer will be active/restarted, till last bit is cleared( till last
counter is released).

before start, alloc_counter is called to set, it seems we never hit
case where at-least one bit is not set.
timer will be started for first bit set and will continue till all
bits are cleared.

want to avoid, unnecessary defensive programming.

ok got it thanks, this check was added when hotplug was not implemented.
