KVM: selftests: Increase robustness of LLC cache misses in PMU counters test
Currently the PMU counters test does a single CLFLUSH{,OPT} on the loop's code, but due to speculative execution this might not cause LLC misses within the measured section. Instead of doing a single flush before the loop, do a cache flush on each iteration of the loop to confuse the prediction and ensure that at least one cache miss occurs within the measured section.
