[PATCH] perf/x86/amd: Don't touch the Host-Only/Guest-Only bit inside the guest

[Dongli Si]

From: Dongli Si <sidongli1997@xxxxxxxxx>

With nested virtualization on AMD Milan:

If "perf record" is run in an L1 hypervisor with an L2 guest,
the following warning is emitted in the L1 guest.

[] unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0xc0010200 (tried to write 0x0000020000510076)
at rIP: 0xffffffff81003a50 (x86_pmu_enable_all+0x60/0x100)
[] Call Trace:
[]  <IRQ>
[]  ? x86_pmu_enable+0x146/0x300
[]  __perf_install_in_context+0x150/0x170

and

the following warning is emitted in the L1 guest.

[]  __perf_install_in_context+0x150/0x170

The AMD64_EVENTSEL_HOSTONLY/AMD64_EVENTSEL_GUESTONLY bit is defined and
used on the host (L0), while the L1 hypervisor Performance Monitor Unit
should avoid such use.
