perf/x86: Make Intel KNC use full 40-bit width of counters

Early versions of Intel KNC chips have a bug where bits above 32
were not properly set.  We worked around this by only using the
bottom 32 bits (out of 40 that should be available).

It turns out this workaround breaks overflow handling.

The buggy silicon will in theory never be used in production
systems, so remove this workaround so we get proper overflow
support.
