Subject: [PATCH v2] 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 also need to comply with the specification and set 0AH.EBX.[bit 7]
to 1 if the guest (e.g. on the ICX) has a value of 0AH.EAX[31:24] > 7.

Fixes: 2e8cd7a3b8287 ("kvm: x86: limit the maximum number of vPMU fixed counters to 3")
Signed-off-by: Like Xu <likexu@...cent.com>

v1 -> v2 Changelog:
- Make it simpler to keep forward compatibility; (Sean)
- Wrap related comment at ~80 chars; (Sean)
