Re: [PATCH V2 2/3] KVM: x86/pmu: Don't pre-set the pmu->global_ctrl when refreshing

[Like Xu]

From: Like Xu <likexu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Assigning a value to pmu->global_ctrl just to set the value of
pmu->global_ctrl_mask in a more readable way leaves a side effect of
not conforming to the specification. The value is reset to zero on
Power up and Reset but keeps unchanged on INIT, like an ordinary MSR.
