I added the counting because if forcewake get fails then destroy won't 
know if it has to call xe_force_wake_put (multiple perf opened). If 
there is count and ref set, then can be called based on that.

If we can return -ENOTSUPPORTED if forcewake get fails for engine 
events, then the above will work
