perf/cxl: Unfreeze counters after handling an overflow interrupt

The counters run with Freeze on Overflow set, so one overflow freezes every
counter in the block (CXL r4.0 8.2.7.2.1), and a frozen counter "remains
frozen until explicitly unfrozen by software" (8.2.7.1.3, Table 8-183).
cxl_pmu_irq() reads the overflowed counters and clears the overflow status
but never unfreezes, so everything stays frozen until the next pmu_enable()
and events in that window are lost.

Unfreeze after clearing the status, unless the PMU has been disabled in the
meantime - cxl_pmu_disable() freezes the block deliberately. Track the
enabled state and leave it frozen in that case.
