Good catch, thank you.

Even so, I do not think mon_event_count()'s usage of __mon_event_count()
was taken into account by this patch and needs a bigger rework than the
above fixup. For example, if I understand correctly ret_val is the error
and rr->val no longer expected to contain the error after this patch. So
keeping that assignment to rr->val is not correct.
