perf/amd/ibs: Account interrupt for discarded samples

Add interrupt throttling accounting for below cases:

o IBS Op PMU: A software filter (in addition to the hardware filter)
drops samples whose load latency is below the user-specified
threshold.

o IBS Fetch PMU: Samples discarded due to the zero-RIP erratum (#1197).

Although these samples are discarded, the NMI cost is still incurred, so
they should be counted for interrupt throttling.

Fixes: d20610c19b4a22bc69085b7eb7a02741d51de30e ("perf/amd/ibs: Add support for OP Load Latency Filtering")
