[kvm-unit-tests Patch v3 07/11] x86: pmu: Enable and disable PMCs in loop() asm blob

[Dapeng Mi <dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com>]

Currently enabling PMCs, executing loop() and disabling PMCs are divided
3 separated functions. So there could be other instructions executed
between enabling PMCS and running loop() or running loop() and disabling
PMCs, e.g. if there are multiple counters enabled in measure_many()
function, the instructions which enabling the 2nd and more counters
would be counted in by the 1st counter.

So current implementation can only verify the correctness of count by an
rough range rather than a precise count even for instructions and
branches events. Strictly speaking, this verification is meaningless as
the test could still pass even though KVM vPMU has something wrong and
reports an incorrect instructions or branches count which is in the rough
range.

Thus, move the PMCs enabling and disabling into the loop() asm blob and
ensure only the loop asm instructions would be counted, then the
instructions or branches events can be verified with an precise count
instead of an rough range.
