Subject: [PATCH 1/7] KVM: x86/pmu: Make top-down.slots event unavailable in supported leaf

From: Like Xu <likexu@...cent.com>

When we choose to disable the fourth fixed counter TOPDOWN.SLOTS,
we need to also reduce the length of the 0AH.EBX bit vector, which
enumerates architecture performance monitoring events, and set
0AH.EBX.[bit 7] to 1 if the new value of EAX[31:24] is still > 7.

Fixes: 2e8cd7a3b8287 ("kvm: x86: limit the maximum number of vPMU fixed counters to 3")
