Two fixes for performance monitoring on X86:

Browse source 
- Add recursion protection to another callchain invoked from
       x86_pmu_stop() which can recurse back into x86_pmu_stop(). The first
       attempt to fix this missed this extra code path.
 
     - Use the already filtered status variable to check for PEBS counter
       overflow bits and not the unfiltered full status read from
       IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS which can have unrelated bits check which
       would be evaluated incorrectly.
