perf/x86/core: Add APIs to switch to/from mediated PMI vector (for KVM)

Browse source

Add APIs (exported only for KVM) to switch PMIs to the dedicated mediated
PMU IRQ vector when loading guest context, and back to perf's standard NMI
when the guest context is put.  I.e. route PMIs to
PERF_GUEST_MEDIATED_PMI_VECTOR when the guest context is active, and to
NMIs while the host context is active.

While running with guest context loaded, ignore all NMIs (in perf).  Any
NMI that arrives while the LVTPC points at the mediated PMU IRQ vector
can't possibly be due to a host perf event.
