[PATCH] fix oprofile on x86 > 1 counter

[John Levon]

See the comment below, without this we have a choice between
dropping lots of counter events for counters > 0, or getting dazed and
confused. This brings it inline with the 2.4 module code. Tested on my 2-way.

Also fix a typo from Steven Cole, and remove some unnecessary code

please apply,
john
