Lots of PMU fixes and cleanups, along with related selftests.  The most notable
fix is to *not* disallow the use of fixed counters and event encodings just
because the CPU doesn't report support for the matching architectural event
encoding.

Note, the selftests changes have several annoying conflicts with "the" selftests
pull request that you'll also receive from me.  I recommend merging that one
first, as I found it slightly easier to resolve the conflicts in that order.

P.S. I expect to send another PMU related pull request of 3-4 fixes at some
point during the merge window.  But they're all small and urgent (if we had a
few more weeks for 6.8, I'd have tried to squeeze them into 6.8).

The following changes since commit 41bccc98fb7931d63d03f326a746ac4d429c1dd3:

  KVM: x86/pmu: Explicitly check NMI from guest to reducee false positives (2024-02-26 15:57:22 -0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------
KVM x86 PMU changes for 6.9:

 - Fix several bugs where KVM speciously prevents the guest from utilizing
   fixed counters and architectural event encodings based on whether or not
   guest CPUID reports support for the _architectural_ encoding.

 - Fix a variety of bugs in KVM's emulation of RDPMC, e.g. for "fast" reads,
   priority of VMX interception vs #GP, PMC types in architectural PMUs, etc.

 - Add a selftest to verify KVM correctly emulates RDMPC, counter availability,
   and a variety of other PMC-related behaviors that depend on guest CPUID,
   i.e. are difficult to validate via KVM-Unit-Tests.

 - Zero out PMU metadata on AMD if the virtual PMU is disabled to avoid wasting
   cycles, e.g. when checking if a PMC event needs to be synthesized when
   skipping an instruction.

 - Optimize triggering of emulated events, e.g. for "count instructions" events
   when skipping an instruction, which yields a ~10% performance improvement in
   VM-Exit microbenchmarks when a vPMU is exposed to the guest.

 - Tighten the check for "PMI in guest" to reduce false positives if an NMI
   arrives in the host while KVM is handling an IRQ VM-Exit.
