perf_counter: Fix throttling lock-up

Browse Source 
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. )
