KVM: x86/pmu: Reprogram mediated PMU event selectors on event filter updates

Browse source

Refresh the event selectors that are programmed into hardware when a PMC
is "reprogrammed" for a mediated PMU, i.e. if userspace changes the PMU
event filters

Note, KVM doesn't utilize the reprogramming infrastructure to handle
counter overflow for mediated PMUs, as there's no need to reprogram a
non-existent perf event.
