[PATCH 7/9] x86, perf: Handle new arch perfmon v4 status bits

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

ArchPerfmon v4 has some new status bits in GLOBAL_STATUS.
These need to be ignored when deciding whether a NMI
was a NMI to avoid eating all NMIs when they
stay set (see b292d7a104)

This patch ignores the new ASIF bit, which indicates
that SGX interfered with the PMU, and also the new
LBR freezing bits, which are set when the LBRs get
frozen, plus the existing CondChange (set by JTAG debuggers
and some buggy BIOSes)
