perf/core: Fix the unthrottle logic
Its possible to IOC_PERIOD while the event is throttled, this would re-start the event and the next tick would then try to unthrottle it, and find the event wasn't actually stopped anymore. This would tickle a WARN in the x86-pmu code which isn't expecting to start a !stopped event.
