perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()

With the new throttling/unthrottling code introduced with
commit:

  e050e3f0 ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling")

we occasionally hit two WARN_ON_ONCE() checks in:

  - intel_pmu_pebs_enable()
  - intel_pmu_lbr_enable()
  - x86_pmu_start()

The assertions are no longer problematic. There is a valid
path where they can trigger but it is harmless.

The assertion can be triggered with:

  $ perf record -e instructions:pp ....

Leading to paths:

  intel_pmu_pebs_enable
  intel_pmu_enable_event
  x86_perf_event_set_period
  x86_pmu_start
  perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context
  perf_event_task_tick
  scheduler_tick

And:

  intel_pmu_lbr_enable
  intel_pmu_enable_event
  x86_perf_event_set_period
  x86_pmu_start
  perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.
  perf_event_task_tick
  scheduler_tick

cpuc->enabled is always on because when we get to
perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context() the PMU is not totally
disabled. Furthermore when we need to adjust a period,
we only stop the event we need to change and not the
entire PMU. Thus, when we re-enable, cpuc->enabled is
already set. Note that when we stop the event, both
pebs and lbr are stopped if necessary (and possible).
