[PATCH] perf, x86: P4 PMU - Fix unflagged overflows handling v4

[Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com>]

Don found that P4 PMU reads CCCR register instead of counter
itself (in attempt to catch unflagged event) this makes P4
NMI handler to consume all NMIs it observes. So the other
NMI users such as kgdb simply have no chance to get NMI
on their hands.

v2: Call checking_wrmsrl only if needed.
v3: Check the valuable bits.
v4: Leave p4_pmu_clear_cccr_ovf early if P4_CCCR_OVF flag is set.

Ming, Jason, mind to give this patch a shot? Note that it
seems you have to disable nmi-watchdog at bootstrap to be
able to run perf top. I believe it's a different issue
unrelated to this particular nit.
