[PATCH] perf/x86/amd: Warn only on new bits set

From: Breno Leitao
Date: Fri May 24 2024 - 10:10:41 EST


Warning at every leaking bits can cause a flood of message, triggering
vairous stall-warning mechanisms to fire, including CSD locks, which
makes the machine to be unusable.

Track the bits that are being leaked, and only warn when a new bit is
set.
