Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/intel/uncore: fix IMC missing box initialization


This patch fixes a bug introduced by:

commit c05199e5a57a579fea1e8fa65e2b511ceb524ffc

    perf/x86/intel/uncore: Move uncore_box_init() out of driver initialization

It moves uncore_box_init() out of place but this meant that for desktop memory
controller (IMC) PCI-based PMU, the intialization was now missing causing a
crash at first access. This patch fixes the issue by adding the call to the
uncore_enable_box() in snb_uncore_imc_read_counter() to ensure the box
is initialized and the PCI BAR is io-remapped.
