This is because when a new vlbr event is first scheduled in the current CPU,
the lbr_select is not reset, which causes the previous lbr_select value
to be visible to the next vcpu.

Considering that the requested lbr_select will be reconfigured
when the event is enabled. It is trivial, but a valid fix. Thanks.
