perf: Fix software event overflow

Browse source 
The below patch is for -stable only, upstream has a much larger patch
that contains the below hunk in commit a8b0ca17b8

Vince found that under certain circumstances software event overflows
go wrong and deadlock. Avoid trying to delete a timer from the timer
callback.
