* The throttle can be triggered in the hrtimer handler.
* The HRTIMER_NORESTART should be used to stop the timer,
* rather than hrtimer_cancel(). See perf_swevent_hrtimer()
* Careful: this function can be triggered in the hrtimer handler,
* for cpu-clock events, so hrtimer_cancel() would cause a
* deadlock.
*
* So use hrtimer_try_to_cancel() to try to stop the hrtimer,
* and the cpu-clock handler also sets the PERF_HES_STOPPED flag,
* which guarantees that perf_swevent_hrtimer() will stop the
* hrtimer once it sees the PERF_HES_STOPPED flag.
