KVM: x86/pmu: Disable guest PEBS temporarily in two rare situations

Browse source

The guest PEBS will be disabled when some users try to perf KVM and
its user-space through the same PEBS facility OR when the host perf
doesn't schedule the guest PEBS counter in a one-to-one mapping manner
(neither of these are typical scenarios).

The PEBS records in the guest DS buffer are still accurate and the
above two restrictions will be checked before each vm-entry only if
guest PEBS is deemed to be enabled.
