Subject: [PATCH 1/3] perf, x86: Reset more state in PMU reset

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

The PMU reset code didn't quite keep up with newer PMU features.
Improve it a bit to really reset a modern PMU:

- Clear all overflow status
- Clear LBRs and freezing state
- Disable fixed counters too
