    x86/intel: ensure Global Performance Counter Control is setup correctly
    
    When Architectural Performance Monitoring is available, the PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL
    MSR contains per-counter enable bits that is ANDed with the enable bit in 
the
    counter EVNTSEL MSR in order for a PMC counter to be enabled.
    
    So far the watchdog code seems to have relied on the PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL enable
    bits being set by default, but at least on some Intel Sapphire and Emerald
    Rapids this is no longer the case, and Xen reports:
    
    Testing NMI watchdog on all CPUs: 0 40 stuck
    
    The first CPU on each package is started with PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL zeroed, so 
PMC0
    doesn't start counting when the enable bit in EVNTSEL0 is set, due to the
    relevant enable bit in PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL not being set.
    
    Check and adjust PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL during CPU initialization so that all the
    general-purpose PMCs are enabled.  Doing so brings the state of the 
package-BSP
    PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL in line with the rest of the CPUs on the system.
