[PATCH v7 07/12] KVM: arm64: PMU: Set PMCR_EL0.N for vCPU based on the associated PMU

From: Raghavendra Rao Ananta

From: Reiji Watanabe <reijiw@xxxxxxxxxx>

The number of PMU event counters is indicated in PMCR_EL0.N.
For a vCPU with PMUv3 configured, the value is set to the same
value as the current PE on every vCPU reset. Unless the vCPU is
pinned to PEs that has the PMU associated to the guest from the
initial vCPU reset, the value might be different from the PMU's
PMCR_EL0.N on heterogeneous PMU systems.

Fix this by setting the vCPU's PMCR_EL0.N to the PMU's PMCR_EL0.N
value. Track the PMCR_EL0.N per guest, as only one PMU can be set
for the guest (PMCR_EL0.N must be the same for all vCPUs of the
guest), and it is convenient for updating the value.

KVM does not yet support userspace modifying PMCR_EL0.N.
The following patch will add support for that.
