pmu_inuse flag is part of lppaca struct which notifies the hypervisor
whether guest/partition is using PMUs. This provides a hint incase of
save/restore of PMU registers. And in power_pmu_enable(), linux sets
the pmu_inuse flag and then updates the PMU registers. Current sequence
in power_pmu_enable() is 1) update pmc_inuse flag 2)update MMCRA, MMCR1,
MMCR0 and so on. But with this sequence, there is a window where when
updating MMCRA, hypersior could load stale value to MMCR0 which could
cause a PMI exception. Patch add a mtmmcr0 with freeze counter bit set
right after updating the pmu_inuse flag to avoid any overflow scenarios.
