[PATCH] KVM: x86/pmu: Zero out pmu->all_valid_pmc_idx each time it's refreshed

[Like Xu]

From: Like Xu <likexu@tencent.com>

The kvm_pmu_refresh() may be called repeatedly (e.g. configure guest
CPUID repeatedly or update MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES) and each
call will use the last pmu->all_valid_pmc_idx value, with the residual
bits introducing additional overhead later in the vPMU emulation.

Fixes: b35e5548b411 ("KVM: x86/vPMU: Add lazy mechanism to release perf_event per vPMC")

Applied to kvm-x86 pmu, thanks!
