perf/x86/intel/uncore: Fix minor race in box set up
I was looking for the trinity oops cause in the uncore driver. (so far didn't found it) However I found this tiny race: when a box is set up two threads on the same CPU, they may be setting up the box in parallel (e.g. with kernel preemption). This could lead to the reference count being increasing too much. Always recheck there is no existing cpu reference inside the lock.
