Kernel function check_hw_exists() writes 0xabcd to msr 0xc0010201 (Performance Event
Counter 0) and read it again to check if it is running as dom0. Early amd cpus does
not reset perf counters during warm reboot. If the kernel is booted with bare metal
and then as a dom0, the content of msr 0xc0010201 will stay and the checking will
pass and PMU will be enabled unexpectedly.

Don't reset the counters when used for the NMI watchdog.
