mainlining shenanigans

Currently, the if-else is used in the intel_pmu_disable/enable_event to check the type of an event. It works well, but with more and more types added later, e.g., perf metrics, compared to the switch statement, the if-else may impair the readability of the code. There is no harm to use the switch statement to replace the if-else here. Also, some optimizing compilers may compile a switch statement into a jump-table which is more efficient than if-else for a large number of cases. The performance gain may not be observed for now, because the number of cases is only 5, but the benefits may be observed with more and more types added in the future. Use switch to replace the if-else in the intel_pmu_disable/enable_event. If the idx is invalid, print a warning. For the case INTEL_PMC_IDX_FIXED_BTS in intel_pmu_disable_event, don't need to check the event->attr.precise_ip. Use return for the case.

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 Restructured Text 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.
