When Architectural Performance Monitoring is available, the PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL
MSR contains per-counter enable bits that is ANDed with the enable bit in the
counter EVNTSEL MSR in order for a PMC counter to be enabled.

So far the watchdog code seems to have relied on the PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL enable
bits being set by default, but at least on some Intel Sapphire and Emerald
Rapids this is no longer the case, and Xen reports:

Testing NMI watchdog on all CPUs: 0 40 stuck

The first CPU on each package is started with PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL zeroed, so PMC0
doesn't start counting when the enable bit in EVNTSEL0 is set, due to the
relevant enable bit in PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL not being set.

Check and adjust PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL during CPU initialization so that all the
general-purpose PMCs are enabled.  Doing so brings the state of the package-BSP
PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL in line with the rest of the CPUs on the system.

While there also adjust the check for ARCH_PERFMON in order to require a single
counter to be present instead of two.

Changes since v2:
 - Print message on invalid PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL.
 - Use a mask instead of type truncation.
 - Adjust the check to require a single counter instead of 2.

Changes since v1:
 - Do the adjustment of PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL even if the watchdog is not used, and
   enable all counters.
