perf/x86/intel: Streamline LBR MSR handling in PMI
The perf PMI currently does unnecessary MSR accesses when
LBRs are enabled. We use LBR freezing, or when in callstack
mode force the LBRs to only filter on ring 3.
So there is no need to disable the LBRs explicitely in the
PMI handler.
Also we always unnecessarily rewrite LBR_SELECT in the LBR
handler, even though it can never change.

This patch:
- Avoids disabling already frozen LBRs unnecessarily in the PMI
- Avoids changing LBR_SELECT in the PMI
