KVM: x86/svm/pmu: Add AMD PerfMonV2 support
If AMD Performance Monitoring Version 2 (PerfMonV2) is detected by
the guest, it can use a new scheme to manage the Core PMCs using the
new global control and status registers.
In addition to benefiting from the PerfMonV2 functionality in the same
way as the host (higher precision), the guest also can reduce the number
of vm-exits by lowering the total number of MSRs accesses.
In terms of implementation details, amd_is_valid_msr() is resurrected
since three newly added MSRs could not be mapped to one vPMC.
The possibility of emulating PerfMonV2 on the mainframe has also
been eliminated for reasons of precision.
