perf: Fix throttle logic 

It was possible to call pmu::start() on an already running event. In
particular this lead so some wreckage as the hrtimer events would
re-initialize active timers.

This was due to throttled events being activated again by scheduling.
Scheduling in a context would add and force start events, resulting in
running events with a possible throttle status. The next tick to hit
that task will then try to unthrottle the event and call ->start() on
an already running event.
