perf/core: Fix sideband list-iteration vs. event ordering NULL pointer deference crash
Vegard Nossum reported that perf fuzzing generates a NULL
pointer dereference crash:

> created by perf_event_open() and it gets added to the pmu_event_list
> through:

The latter seems like the simplest solution. Moving the list-add later
creates a bit of a mess.
