x86: oprofile: don't set counter width from cpuid on Core2

Browse Source 
Impact: fix stuck NMIs and non-working oprofile on certain CPUs

Resetting the counter width of the performance counters on Intel's
Core2 CPUs, breaks the delivery of NMIs, when running in x86_64 mode.

This should fix bug #12395:
