KVM: x86/pmu: Force reprogramming of all counters on PMU filter change

Force vCPUs to reprogram all counters on a PMU filter change to provide
a sane ABI for userspace.  Use the existing KVM_REQ_PMU to do the
programming, and take advantage of the fact that the reprogram_pmi bitmap
fits in a u64 to set all bits in a single atomic update.  Note, setting
the bitmap and making the request needs to be done _after_ the SRCU
synchronization to ensure that vCPUs will reprogram using the new filter.

KVM's current "lazy" approach is confusing and non-deterministic.  It's
confusing because, from a developer perspective, the code is buggy as it
makes zero sense to let userspace modify the filter but then not actually
enforce the new filter.  The lazy approach is non-deterministic because
KVM enforces the filter whenever a counter is reprogrammed, not just on
guest WRMSRs, i.e. a guest might gain/lose access to an event at random
times depending on what is going on in the host.

Note, the resulting behavior is still non-determinstic while the filter
is in flux.  If userspace wants to guarantee deterministic behavior, all
vCPUs should be paused during the filter update.
