x86/msr: Add PerfCntrGlobal* registers



Add MSR definitions that will be used to enable the new AMD
Performance Monitoring Version 2 (PerfMonV2) features. These
include:

  * Performance Counter Global Control (PerfCntrGlobalCtl)
  * Performance Counter Global Status (PerfCntrGlobalStatus)
  * Performance Counter Global Status Clear (PerfCntrGlobalStatusClr)

The new Performance Counter Global Control and Status MSRs
provide an interface for enabling or disabling multiple
counters at the same time and for testing overflow without
probing the individual registers for each PMC.

The availability of these registers is indicated through the
PerfMonV2 feature bit of CPUID leaf 0x80000022 EAX.
