3.16.7-ckt23 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 642c2d671ceff40e9453203ea0c66e991e11e249 upstream.
Dmitry reported a fairly silly recursive lock deadlock for
PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD, fix this by explicitly doing the inactive part of
__perf_event_period() instead of calling that function.
