The new module parameter to control PMU virtualization should apply
to Intel as well as AMD, for situations where userspace is not trusted.
If the module parameter allows PMU virtualization, there could be a
new KVM_CAP or guest CPUID bits whereby userspace can enable/disable
PMU virtualization on a per-VM basis.
If the module parameter does not allow PMU virtualization, there
should be no userspace override, since we have no precedent for
authorizing that kind of override. If it's false, other counter-based
profiling features (such as LBR including the associated CPUID bits
if any) will not be exposed.
Change its name from "pmu" to "enable_pmu" as we have temporary
variables with the same name in our code like "struct kvm_pmu *pmu".

Since we set the same semantic event value for the fixed counter in
pmc->eventsel, returning the perf_hw_id for the fixed counter via
find_fixed_event() can be painlessly replaced by pmc_perf_hw_id()
with the help of pmc_is_fixed() check.

The find_arch_event() returns a "unsigned int" value,
which is used by the pmc_reprogram_counter() to
program a PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE type perf_event.
The returned value is actually the kernel defined generic
perf_hw_id, let's rename it to pmc_perf_hw_id() with simpler
incoming parameters for better self-explanation.

For Intel, the guest PMU can be disabled via clearing the PMU CPUID.
For AMD, all hw implementations support the base set of four
performance counters, with current mainstream hardware indicating
the presence of two additional counters via X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE.
In the virtualized world, the AMD guest driver may detect
the presence of at least one counter MSR. Most hypervisor
vendors would introduce a module param (like lbrv for svm)
to disable PMU for all guests.
Another control proposal per-VM is to pass PMU disable information
via MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES or one bit in CPUID Fn4000_00[FF:00].
Both of methods require some guest-side changes, so a module
parameter may not be sufficiently granular, but practical enough.

If we run the following perf command in an AMD Milan guest:
perf stat \
-e cpu/event=0x1d0/ \
-e cpu/event=0x1c7/ \
-e cpu/umask=0x1f,event=0x18e/ \
-e cpu/umask=0x7,event=0x18e/ \
-e cpu/umask=0x18,event=0x18e/ \
./workload
dmesg will report a #GP warning from an unchecked MSR access
error on MSR_F15H_PERF_CTLx.
This is because according to APM (Revision: 4.03) Figure 13-7,
the bits [35:32] of AMD PerfEvtSeln register is a part of the
event select encoding, which extends the EVENT_SELECT field
from 8 bits to 12 bits.
Opportunistically update pmu->reserved_bits for reserved bit 19.

These function names sound like predicates, and they have siblings,
*is_valid_msr(), which _are_ predicates. Moreover, there are comments
that essentially warn that these functions behave unexpectedly.
Flip the polarity of the return values, so that they become
predicates, and convert the boolean result to a success/failure code
at the outer call site.

MSR_F15H_PERF_CTL0-5, MSR_F15H_PERF_CTR0-5 MSRs are only available when
X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE CPUID bit was exposed to the guest. KVM, however,
allows these MSRs unconditionally because kvm_pmu_is_valid_msr() ->
amd_msr_idx_to_pmc() check always passes and because kvm_pmu_set_msr() ->
amd_pmu_set_msr() doesn't fail.
In case of a counter (CTRn), no big harm is done as we only increase
internal PMC's value but in case of an eventsel (CTLn), we go deep into
perf internals with a non-existing counter.
Note, kvm_get_msr_common() just returns '0' when these MSRs don't exist
and this also seems to contradict architectural behavior which is #GP
(I did check one old Opteron host) but changing this status quo is a bit
scarier.

Change kvm_pmu_get_msr() to get the msr_data struct, as the host_initiated
field from the struct could be used by get_msr. This also makes this API
consistent with kvm_pmu_set_msr. No functional changes.
