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.
