Convert kvm_pmu_ops to use static calls.

Here are the worst sched_clock() nanosecond numbers for the kvm_pmu_ops
functions that is most often called (up to 7 digits of calls) when running
a single perf test case in a guest on an ICX 2.70GHz host (mitigations=on):

| legacy | static call
------------------------------------------------------------
.pmc_idx_to_pmc | 10946 | 10047 (8%)
.pmc_is_enabled | 11291 | 11175 (1%)
.msr_idx_to_pmc | 13526 | 12346 (8%)
.is_valid_msr | 10895 | 10484 (3%)

Why you need change them into kvm_pmu_ops.XXX then convert
them into static call ? Move the instance definition of
kvm_pmu_ops from patch 1 into patch 3 and then drop patch 1,
will this work ?

You may git squash all commits to get it *work*.

With reference to afaf0b2f9b801c6eb2278b52d49e6a7d7b659cf1[1],
doing one thing at a time will make things go smoother.
