The goal of this series is to allow userspace to limit the number
of PMU event counters on the vCPU. We need this to support migration
across systems that implement different numbers of counters.

The number of PMU event counters is indicated in PMCR_EL0.N.
For a vCPU with PMUv3 configured, its value will be the same as
the host value by default. Userspace can set PMCR_EL0.N for the
vCPU to a lower value than the host value, using KVM_SET_ONE_REG.
However, it is practically unsupported, as KVM resets PMCR_EL0.N
to the host value on vCPU reset and some KVM code uses the host
value to identify (un)implemented event counters on the vCPU.

This series will ensure that the PMCR_EL0.N value is preserved
on vCPU reset and that KVM doesn't use the host value
to identify (un)implemented event counters on the vCPU.
This allows userspace to limit the number of the PMU event
counters on the vCPU.

Patch 1 fixes reset_pmu_reg() to ensure that (RAZ) bits of
{PMCNTEN,PMOVS}{SET,CLR}_EL1 corresponding to unimplemented event
counters on the vCPU are reset to zero even when PMCR_EL0.N for
the vCPU is different from the host.

Patch 2 is a minor refactoring to use the default PMU register reset
function (reset_pmu_reg()) for PMUSERENR_EL0 and PMCCFILTR_EL0.
(With the Patch 1 change, reset_pmu_reg() can now be used for
those registers)

Patch 3 fixes reset_pmcr() to preserve PMCR_EL0.N for the vCPU on
vCPU reset.

Patch 4 adds the sys_reg's set_user() handler for the PMCR_EL0
to disallow userspace to set PMCR_EL0.N for the vCPU to a value
that is greater than the host value.

Patch 5-8 adds a selftest to verify reading and writing PMU registers
for implemented or unimplemented PMU event counters on the vCPU.

The series is based on v6.2-rc4.

v2:
 - Added the sys_reg's set_user() handler for the PMCR_EL0 to
   disallow userspace to set PMCR_EL0.N for the vCPU to a value
   that is greater than the host value (and added a new test
   case for this behavior). [Oliver]
 - Added to the commit log of the patch 2 that PMUSERENR_EL0 and
   PMCCFILTR_EL0 have UNKNOWN reset values.
