KVM: x86: Provide per VM capability for disabling PMU virtualization

Browse source

Add a new capability, KVM_CAP_PMU_CAPABILITY, that takes a bitmask of
settings/features to allow userspace to configure PMU virtualization on
a per-VM basis.  For now, support a single flag, KVM_PMU_CAP_DISABLE,
to allow disabling PMU virtualization for a VM even when KVM is configured
with enable_pmu=true a module level.

To keep KVM simple, disallow changing VM's PMU configuration after vCPUs
have been created.
