[kvm-unit-tests PATCH] x86: pmu: Test perfctr overflow after WRMSR on a running counter

[Eric Hankland]

Ensure that a WRMSR on a running counter will correctly update when the
counter should overflow (similar to the existing overflow test case but
with the counter being written to while it is running).
