There should be another if () here to check if the reference counters are equal.
We cannot assume, there was a overflow when the counters are equal. As I
mentioned on last patch, the counters *may* pause in idle states.

If we cannot compute delivered performance then we should return
desired/requested perf and not reference_perf.
