KVM: selftests: Introduce "struct __kvm_pmu_event_filter" to manipulate filter

Add custom "__kvm_pmu_event_filter" structure to improve pmu event
filter settings. Simplifies event filter setup by organizing event
filter parameters in a cleaner, more organized way.

Alternatively, selftests could use a struct overlay ala vcpu_set_msr()
to avoid dynamically allocating the array:

        struct {
                struct kvm_msrs header;
                struct kvm_msr_entry entry;
        } buffer = {};

        memset(&buffer, 0, sizeof(buffer));
        buffer.header.nmsrs = 1;
        buffer.entry.index = msr_index;
        buffer.entry.data = msr_value;

but the extra layer added by the nested structs is counterproductive
to writing efficient, clean code.
