[PATCH v2 33/54] KVM: x86/pmu: Allow writing to fixed counter selector if counter is exposed

Allow writing to fixed counter selector if counter is exposed. If this
fixed counter is filtered out, this counter won't be enabled on HW.

Passthrough PMU implements the context switch at VM Enter/Exit boundary the
guest value cannot be directly written to HW since the HW PMU is owned by
the host. Introduce a new field fixed_ctr_ctrl_hw in kvm_pmu to cache the
guest value. which will be assigne to HW at PMU context restore.

Since passthrough PMU intercept writes to fixed counter selector, there is
no need to read the value at pmu context save, but still clear the fix
counter ctrl MSR and counters when switching out to host PMU.
