Subject: [PATCH v4 3/5] KVM: selftests: aarch64: Fix the buggy [enable|disable]_counter

In general, the set/clr registers should always be used in their
write form, never in a RMW form (imagine an interrupt disabling
a counter between the read and the write...).

The current implementation of [enable|disable]_counter both use the RMW
form, fix them by directly write to the set/clr registers.

At the same time, it also fix the buggy disable_counter() which would
end up disabling all the counters.
