perf_counter: x86: Protect against infinite loops in intel_pmu_handle_irq()

intel_pmu_handle_irq() can lock up in an infinite loop if the hardware
does not allow the acking of irqs. Alas, this happened in testing so
make this robust and emit a warning if it happens in the future.

Also, clean up the IRQ handlers a bit.

[ Impact: improve perfcounter irq/nmi handling robustness ]
