x86, NMI watchdog: when booting with reset_devices, clear the performance counters

Browse Source 
P4s have a quirk that makes necessary to clear P4_CCCR_OVF bit on the CCCR
everytime the PMI is triggered. When booting the kernel with reset_devices
(more specific kdump case), the counters reach zero and the PMI will be
generated. This is not a problem on other processors but on P4s, it'll
continue to generate NMIs until that bit is cleared. Since there may be
other users of the performance counters, clear and disable all of them
when booting with reset_devices option.

We have a P4 box here that crashes because of this problem. Since the kdump
kernel usually boots with only one processor active, the second logical
unit won't be set up, therefore, MSR_P4_IQ_CCCR1 (and other performance
counter registers) won't be cleared and P4_CCCR_OVF may be still set because
the previous kernel was using this register. An NMI is triggered because of
the MSR_P4_IQ_CCCR1 right after the NMI delivery is enabled, triggering the
race fixed on my previous email.
