perf, x86: Fix Intel-nhm PMU programming errata workaround
Fix the Errata AAK100/AAP53/BD53 workaround, the officialy documented workaround we implemented in: 11164cd: perf, x86: Add Nehelem PMU programming errata workaround doesn't actually work fully and causes a stuck PMU state under load and non-functioning perf profiling. A functional workaround was found by trial & error. Affects all Nehalem-class Intel PMUs.
