perf_counter: Fix throttling lock-up
Throttling logic is broken and we can lock up with too small
hw sampling intervals.
Make the throttling code more robust: disable counters even
if we already disabled them.
( Also clean up whitespace damage i noticed while reading
various pieces of code related to throttling. )
