perf/x86/intel/bts: Fix exclusive event reference leak
Commit: d2878d64 ("perf/x86/intel/bts: Disallow use by unprivileged users on paranoid systems") ... adds a privilege check in the exactly wrong place in the event init path: after the 'LBR exclusive' reference has been taken, and doesn't release it in the case of insufficient privileges. After this, nobody in the system gets to use PT or LBR afterwards. This patch moves the privilege check to where it should have been in the first place.
