x86, perfcounters: read out MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS with counters disabled
Impact: make perfcounter NMI and IRQ sequence more robust
Make __smp_perf_counter_interrupt() a bit more conservative: first disable
all counters, then read out the status. Most invocations are because there
are real events, so there's no performance impact.
Code flow gets a bit simpler as well this way.
