[PATCH 2/3] i386: kvm: disable KVM_CAP_PMU_CAPABILITY if "pmu" is disabled

[Dongli Zhang <dongli.zhang@oracle.com>]

The "perf stat" at the VM side still works even we set "-cpu host,-pmu" in
the QEMU command line. That is, neither "-cpu host,-pmu" nor "-cpu EPYC"
could disable the pmu virtualization in an AMD environment.

We still see below at VM kernel side ...

[    0.510611] Performance Events: Fam17h+ core perfctr, AMD PMU driver.

... although we expect something like below.

[    0.596381] Performance Events: PMU not available due to virtualization, using software events only.
[    0.600972] NMI watchdog: Perf NMI watchdog permanently disabled

This is because the AMD pmu (v1) does not rely on cpuid to decide if the
pmu virtualization is supported.

We disable KVM_CAP_PMU_CAPABILITY if the 'pmu' is disabled in the vcpu
properties.
