[Patch v2 2/4] perf/x86/intel: Disable PMI for self-reloaded ACR events

[Dapeng Mi <dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com>]

On platforms with Auto Counter Reload (ACR) support, such as NVL, a
"NMI received for unknown reason 30" warning is observed when running
multiple events in a group with ACR enabled:

  $ perf record -e '{instructions/period=20000,acr_mask=0x2/u,\
    cycles/period=40000,acr_mask=0x3/u}' ./test

The warning occurs because the Performance Monitoring Interrupt (PMI)
is enabled for the self-reloaded event (the cycles event in this case).
According to the Intel SDM, the overflow bit
(IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS.PMCn_OVF) is never set for self-reloaded events.
Since the bit is not set, the perf NMI handler cannot identify the source
of the interrupt, leading to the "unknown reason" message.

Furthermore, enabling PMI for self-reloaded events is unnecessary and
can lead to extraneous records that pollute the user's requested data.

Disable the interrupt bit for all events configured with ACR self-reload.
