Hash :272033ef Message :Make event_reinit() more robust and maintainable
Previously, event_reinit required a bunch of really dubious hacks,
and violated a lot of abstraction barriers to mess around with lists
of internal events and "pretend" to re-add them.
The new (and fairly well commented!) implementation tries to be much
smarter, by isolating the changes as much as possible to the backend
state, and minimizing the amount of abstraction violations.
Specifically, we now use event_del() to remove events we want to
remove, rather than futzing around with queues in event_reinit().
To avoid bogus calls to evsel->del(), we temporarily replace evsel
with a null-object stub.
Also, we now push the responsibility for calling evsel->add() down
into the evmap code, so that we don't actually need to unlink and
re-link all of our events.
