perf/core: Correct perf sampling with guest VMs
Previously any PMU overflow interrupt that fired while a VCPU was
loaded was recorded as a guest event whether it truly was or not. This
resulted in nonsense perf recordings that did not honor
perf_event_attr.exclude_guest and recorded guest IPs where it should
have recorded host IPs.
Rework the sampling logic to only record guest samples for events with
exclude_guest = 0. This way any host-only events with exclude_guest
set will never see unexpected guest samples. The behaviour of events
with exclude_guest = 0 is unchanged.
Note that events configured to sample both host and guest may still
misattribute a PMI that arrived in the host as a guest event depending
on KVM arch and vendor behavior.
