perf/x86/intel: Fix spurious NMI on fixed counter

If a user first sample a PEBS event on a fixed counter, then sample a
non-PEBS event on the same fixed counter on Icelake, it will trigger
spurious NMI. For example:

  perf record -e 'cycles:p' -a
  perf record -e 'cycles' -a

The error message for spurious NMI:

  [June 21 15:38] Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 30 on CPU 2.
  [    +0.000000] Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?
  [    +0.000000] Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

The bug was introduced by the following commit:

  commit 6f55967ad9d9 ("perf/x86/intel: Fix race in intel_pmu_disable_event()")

The commit moves the intel_pmu_pebs_disable() after intel_pmu_disable_fixed(),
which returns immediately.  The related bit of PEBS_ENABLE MSR will never be
cleared for the fixed counter. Then a non-PEBS event runs on the fixed counter,
but the bit on PEBS_ENABLE is still set, which triggers spurious NMIs.

Check and disable PEBS for fixed counters after intel_pmu_disable_fixed().
