perf/x86/intel: Fix regression by default disabling perfmon v4 interrupt handling 

Kyle Huey reported that 'rr', a replay debugger, broke due to the following commit:

  af3bdb991a ("perf/x86/intel: Add a separate Arch Perfmon v4 PMI handler")

Rework the 'disable_counter_freezing' __setup() parameter such that we
can explicitly enable/disable it and switch to default disabled.

To this purpose, rename the parameter to "perf_v4_pmi=" which is a much
better description and allows requiring a bool argument.

[ mingo: Improved the changelog some more. ]
