Each time a software event triggers, we need to walk through
the entire list of events from the current cpu and task contexts
to retrieve a running perf event that matches.
We also need to check a matching perf event is actually counting.

This walk is wasteful and makes the event fast path scaling
down with a growing number of events running on the same
contexts.

To solve this, we store the running perf events in a hashlist to
get an immediate access to them against their type:event_id when
they trigger.
