Subject: oprofile: ppro: need to enable/disable all the counters
From: Arun Sharma <arun.sharma@xxxxxxxxxx>

Need to enable/disable all the counters instead of just counter 0.

This affects all cpus with family=6, including i386/core.  Usual symptom:
only counter 0 provides samples.  Other counters don't produce samples.
