Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/perf: Use RET0 as default for guest_get_msrs to handle
 "no PMU" case

Initialize x86_pmu.guest_get_msrs to return 0/NULL to handle the "nop"
case.  Patching in perf_guest_get_msrs_nop() during setup does not work
if there is no PMU, as setup bails before updating the static calls,
leaving x86_pmu.guest_get_msrs NULL and thus a complete nop.  Ultimately,
this causes VMX abort on VM-Exit due to KVM putting random garbage from
the stack into the MSR load list.

Add a comment in KVM to note that nr_msrs is valid if and only if the
return value is non-NULL.

v2:
 - Use __static_call_return0 to return NULL instead of manually checking
   the hook at invocation.  [Peter]
 - Rebase to tip/sched/core, commit 4117cebf1a9f ("psi: Optimize task
   switch inside shared cgroups").
