perf/x86/intel: Fix a warning on x86_pmu_stop() with large PEBS

The commit 3966c3feca3f ("x86/perf/amd: Remove need to check "running"
bit in NMI handler") introduced this.  It seems x86_pmu_stop can be
called recursively (like when it losts some samples) like below:

  x86_pmu_stop
    intel_pmu_disable_event  (x86_pmu_disable)
      intel_pmu_pebs_disable
        intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm  (x86_pmu_drain_pebs_buffer)
          x86_pmu_stop

While commit 35d1ce6bec13 ("perf/x86/intel/ds: Fix x86_pmu_stop
warning for large PEBS") fixed it for the normal cases, there's
another path to call x86_pmu_stop() recursively when a PEBS error was
detected (like two or more counters overflowed at the same time).

Like in the Kan's previous fix, we can skip the interrupt accounting
for large PEBS, so check the iregs which is set for PMI only.
