KVM: x86: Protect pmu_intel.c from Spectre-v1/L1TF attacks

Browse source

commit 66061740f1 upstream.

This fixes Spectre-v1/L1TF vulnerabilities in intel_find_fixed_event()
and intel_rdpmc_ecx_to_pmc().
kvm_rdpmc() (ancestor of intel_find_fixed_event()) and
reprogram_fixed_counter() (ancestor of intel_rdpmc_ecx_to_pmc()) are
exported symbols so KVM should treat them conservatively from a security
perspective.

Fixes: 25462f7f52 ("KVM: x86/vPMU: Define kvm_pmu_ops to support vPMU function dispatch")
