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.
