perf/core: Verify we have a single perf_hw_context PMU

Browse source 
There should (and can) only be a single PMU for perf_hw_context
events.

This is because of how we schedule events: once a hardware event fails to
schedule (the PMU is 'full') we stop trying to add more. The trivial
'fix' would break the Round-Robin scheduling we do.
