- 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.
