This is double common_misc and makes no sense

And this is just broken garbage, right?

Did you mean to write:

unsigned long perf_arch_guest_misc_flags(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
	unsigned long guest_state = perf_guest_state();
	unsigned long flags = 0;

	if (guest_state & PERF_GUEST_ACTIVE) {
		if (guest_state & PERF_GUEST_USER)
			flags |= PERF_RECORD_MISC_GUEST_USER;
		else
			flags |= PERF_RECORD_MISC_GUEST_KERNEL;
	}

	return flags;
}

Because here you do the common thing..

And here you mix in the guest things.
