perf_counter, x86: Make NMI lockups more robust

We have a debug check that detects stuck NMIs and returns with
the PMU disabled in the global ctrl MSR - but i managed to trigger
a situation where this was not enough to deassert the NMI.

So clear/reset the full PMU and keep the disable count balanced when
exiting from here. This way the box produces a debug warning but
stays up and is more debuggable.

[ Impact: in case of PMU related bugs, recover more gracefully ]
