[PATCH 1/1] perf/x86/intel: fix LBR callstack issue caused by FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI

[kan . liang]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch fixes an issue which introduced by commit
1a78d93750bb5f61abdc59a91fc3bd06a214542a ("perf/x86/intel: Streamline
LBR MSR handling in PMI").

The old patch not only avoids writing LBR_SELECT MSR in PMI, but also
avoids updating lbr_select variable. So in PMI, FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI bit
is always mistakenly set for IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR MSR, which causes
superfluous increase/decrease of LBR_TOS when collecting LBR callstack.
