perf/x86/intel: Disable FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI when LBR operates in callstack mode
LBR callstack is designed for PEBS, It does not work well with FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI for non PEBS event. If FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI is set for non PEBS event, PMIs near call/return instructions may cause superfluous increase/decrease of LBR_TOS. This patch modifies __intel_pmu_lbr_enable() to not enable FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI when LBR operates in callstack mode. We currently don't use LBR callstack to capture kernel space callchain, so disabling FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI should not be a problem.
