x86/perf: Use RET0 as default for guest_get_msrs to handle "no PMU" case

Browse source

Initialize x86_pmu.guest_get_msrs to return 0/NULL to handle the "nop"
case.  Patching in perf_guest_get_msrs_nop() during setup does not work
if there is no PMU, as setup bails before updating the static calls,
leaving x86_pmu.guest_get_msrs NULL and thus a complete nop.  Ultimately,
this causes VMX abort on VM-Exit due to KVM putting random garbage from
the stack into the MSR load list.

Add a comment in KVM to note that nr_msrs is valid if and only if the
return value is non-NULL.
