[RFC PATCH 40/41] KVM: x86/pmu: Separate passthrough PMU logic in set/get_msr() from non-passthrough vPMU

[Xiong Zhang]

From: Mingwei Zhang <mizhang@xxxxxxxxxx>

Separate passthrough PMU logic from non-passthrough vPMU code. There are
two places in passthrough vPMU when set/get_msr() may call into the
existing non-passthrough vPMU code: 1) set/get counters; 2) set global_ctrl
MSR.

In the former case, non-passthrough vPMU will call into
pmc_{read,write}_counter() which wires to the perf API. Update these
functions to avoid the perf API invocation.

The 2nd case is where global_ctrl MSR writes invokes reprogram_counters()
which will invokes the non-passthrough PMU logic. So use pmu->passthrough
flag to wrap out the call.
