Well, n_added says how many have been added since hw_perf_disable, and
we could get multiple transactions inside a hw_perf_disable/enable
pair, if we're scheduling multiple groups on.  So n_events - n_added
doesn't tell us how many have been added in this transaction -- unless
I'm mistaken and there is a one transaction per hw_perf_disable/enable
rule, but I didn't see that written anywhere, and it does seem to be
explicitly one transaction per group.
