perf_counter, x86: fix zero irq_period counters
The quirk to irq_period unearthed an unrobustness we had in the
hw_counter initialization sequence: we left irq_period at 0, which
was then quirked up to 2 ... which then generated a _lot_ of
interrupts during 'perf stat' runs, slowed them down and skewed
the counter results in general.
Initialize irq_period to the maximum instead.
[ Impact: fix perf stat results ]
