perf/x86: Add sysfs entry to freeze counters on SMI
Currently, the SMIs are visible to all performance counters, because many users want to measure everything including SMIs. But in some cases, the SMI cycles should not be counted - for example, to calculate the cost of an SMI itself. So a knob is needed. When setting FREEZE_WHILE_SMM bit in IA32_DEBUGCTL, all performance counters will be effected. There is no way to do per-counter freeze on SMI. So it should not use the per-event interface (e.g. ioctl or event attribute) to set FREEZE_WHILE_SMM bit. Adds sysfs entry /sys/device/cpu/freeze_on_smi to set FREEZE_WHILE_SMM bit in IA32_DEBUGCTL. When set, freezes perfmon and trace messages while in SMM. Value has to be 0 or 1. It will be applied to all processors. Also serialize the entire setting so we don't get multiple concurrent threads trying to update to different values.
