Yeah, except this patch doesn't actually move anything.  *Some* of the common bits
show up in pmu.c, but the same bits in pmu_intel.c get left behind.

This should be two patches.  Moving the GLOBAL_CTRL stuff is logically separate
from moving the pmc_is_enabled() code.

Nah, we're not open coding this check, not after putting in the effort to squash
the mess of open coding on Intel.  Moving intel_pmu_has_perf_global_ctrl() is
trivial, and also allows moving the existence checks into kvm_pmu_is_valid_msr().
