It is required to check event type before checking event config.
Events with the different types can have the same config.
This check is missed for legacy mode code
For such perf usage:
sysctl -w kernel.perf_user_access=2
perf stat -e cycles,L1-dcache-loads --
driver will try to force both events to CYCLE counter.
This commit implements event type check before forcing
events on the special counters.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
