perf/x86/intel/uncore: Fix boot crash on SBOX PMU on Haswell-EP
There were several reports that on some systems writing the SBOX0 PMU initialization MSR would #GP at boot. This did not happen on all systems -- my two test systems booted fine. Writing the three initialization bits bit-by-bit seems to avoid the problem. So add a special callback to do just that. This replaces an earlier patch that disabled the SBOX.
