[PATCH v3 2/3] KVM: vPMU: Fill get_msr MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL w/ 0

[Wanpeng Li]

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

SDM section 18.2.3 mentioned that:

  "IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTL MSR allows software to clear overflow indicator(s) of
   any general-purpose or fixed-function counters via a single WRMSR."

It is R/W mentioned by SDM, we read this msr on bare-metal during perf testing,
the value is always 0 for ICX/SKX boxes on hands. Let's fill get_msr
MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL w/ 0 as hardware behavior and drop
global_ovf_ctrl variable.

Tested-by: Like Xu <likexu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Btw, xen also fills get_msr MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL w/ 0.
v1 -> v2:
 * drop 'u64 global_ovf_ctrl' directly
