When a counter is disabled, its value is sampled before the event
is being disabled, and the value written back in the shadow register.
In that process, the value gets truncated to 32bit, which is adequate
for any counter but the cycle counter, which can be configured to
hold a 64bit value. This obviously results in a corrupted counter,
and things like "perf record -e cycles" not working at all when
run in a guest...
Make the truncation conditional on the counter not being 64bit.
