perf/x86/intel: Don't clear perf metrics overflow bit unconditionally
The below code would always unconditionally clear other status bits like perf metrics overflow bit once PEBS buffer overflows:
status &= intel_ctrl | GLOBAL_STATUS_TRACE_TOPAPMI;
This is incorrect. Perf metrics overflow bit should be cleared only when fixed counter 3 in PEBS counter group. Otherwise perf metrics overflow could be missed to handle.
