KVM: x86/pmu: Add documentation for fixed ctr on PMU filter

Browse source

Update the documentation for the KVM_SET_PMU_EVENT_FILTER ioctl
to include a detailed description of how fixed performance events
are handled in the pmu filter. The action and fixed_counter_bitmap
members of the pmu filter to determine whether fixed performance
events can be programmed by the guest. This information is helpful
for correctly configuring the fixed_counter_bitmap and action fields
to filter fixed performance events.
