KVM: arm64: PMU: Don't overwrite PMUSERENR with vcpu loaded
Currently, with VHE, KVM sets ER, CR, SW and EN bits of
PMUSERENR_EL0 to 1 on vcpu_load(), and saves and restores
the register value for the host on vcpu_load() and vcpu_put().
If the value of those bits are cleared on a pCPU with a vCPU
loaded (armv8pmu_start() would do that when PMU counters are
programmed for the guest), PMU access from the guest EL0 might
be trapped to the guest EL1 directly regardless of the current
PMUSERENR_EL0 value of the vCPU.
Fix this by not letting armv8pmu_start() overwrite PMUSERENR_EL0
on the pCPU where PMUSERENR_EL0 for the guest is loaded, and
instead updating the saved shadow register value for the host
so that the value can be restored on vcpu_put() later.
While vcpu_{put,load}() are manipulating PMUSERENR_EL0, disable
IRQs to prevent a race condition between these processes and IPIs
that attempt to update PMUSERENR_EL0 for the host EL0.
