Add an explicit !enable_pmu check as relying on kvm_pmu_cap to be
zeroed isn't obvious. Although when !enable_pmu, KVM will have
zero-padded kvm_pmu_cap to do subsequent cpuid leaf assignments,
one extra branch instruction saves a few subsequent zero-assignment
instructions, speeding things up a bit.

Drop the performance blurb, as I stated multiple times, optimizing this code is
a non-goal.
