When x86_pmu_event_init runs, it unconditionally sets the destroy callback to hw_perf_event_destroy. On the next init attempt after x86_pmu_event_init, in perf_try_init_event, if the pmu's capabilities includes PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE, the destroy callback will be run. However, if the next init didn't set the destroy callback, hw_perf_event_destroy will be run (since the callback wasn't reset). Looking at other pmu init functions, the common pattern is to only set the destroy callback on a successful init. Resetting the callback on failure tries to replicate that pattern. This was discovered after commit f11dd0d80555 ("perf/x86/amd/ibs: Extend PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE to IBS Op") when the second (and only second) run of the perf tool after a reboot results in 0 samples being generated. The extra run of hw_perf_event_destroy results in active_events having an extra decrement on each perf run. The second run has active_events == 0 and every subsequent run has active_events < 0. When active_events == 0, the NMI handler will early-out and not record any samples.
