perf_counter: x86: Fix throttling

Browse source 
If counters are disabled globally when a perfcounter IRQ/NMI hits,
and if we throttle in that case, we'll promote the '0' value to
the next lapic IRQ and disable all perfcounters at that point,
permanently ...

Fix it.

[ Impact: fix hung perfcounters under load ]
