[PATCH] KVM: x86/pmu: Disable vPMU if EVENTSEL_GUESTONLY bit doesn't exist

From: Like Xu

From: Like Xu <likexu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Unlike Intel's msr atomic_switch mechanism, AMD supports guest pmu
basic counter feature by setting the GUESTONLY bit on the host, so the
presence or absence of this bit determines whether vPMU is emulatable
(e.g. in nested virtualization). Since on AMD, writing reserved bits of
EVENTSEL register does not bring #GP, KVM needs to update the global
enable_pmu value by checking the persistence of this GUESTONLY bit.
