perf/x86/intel: Fix regression by default disabling perfmon v4 interrupt handling
Kyle Huey reported that 'rr', a replay debugger, broke due to the following commit:
af3bdb991a5c ("perf/x86/intel: Add a separate Arch Perfmon v4 PMI handler")
Rework the 'disable_counter_freezing' __setup() parameter such that we
can explicitly enable/disable it and switch to default disabled.
To this purpose, rename the parameter to "perf_v4_pmi=" which is a much
better description and allows requiring a bool argument.
[ mingo: Improved the changelog some more. ]
