Whereas init_hw_perf_events() is hooked by early_initcall(). Once the core PMU is initialized, nmi watchdog initialization is called immediately before bts_init() is called. It leads to the BTS buffer is not really initialized since bts_init() is not called and x86_pmu.bts is still false at that time. Worse, BTS buffer would never be initialized then unless all core PMU events are freed and reserve_ds_buffers() is called again. Thus aligning with init_hw_perf_events(), use early_initcall() to hook bts_init() to ensure x86_pmu.bts is initialized before nmi watchdog initialization.
