perf, x86: Make a second write to performance counter if needed
On Netburst PMU we need a second write to a performance counter due to cpu erratum. A simple flag test instead of alternative instructions was choosen because wrmsrl is already a macro and if virtualization is turned on will need an additional wrapper call which is more expencise. nb: we should propably switch to jump-labels as only this facility reach the mainline.
