KVM: nVMX: Disable PMU MSR interception as appropriate while running L2

Browse source

Merge KVM's PMU MSR interception bitmaps with those of L1, i.e. merge the
bitmaps of vmcs01 and vmcs12, e.g. so that KVM doesn't interpose on MSR
accesses unnecessarily if L1 exposes a mediated PMU (or equivalent) to L2.
