Subject: [PATCH v5] perf/x86/amd: Don't touch the Host-only bit inside the guest hypervisor

From: Dongli Si <sidongli1997@...il.com>

With nested virtualization on AMD Milan, if "perf record" is run in an
L1 hypervisor with an L2 guest, the following warning is emitted in
the L1 guest.

[] unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0xc0010200 (tried to write 0x0000020000510076)
at rIP: 0xffffffff81003a50 (x86_pmu_enable_all+0x60/0x100)
[] Call Trace:
[]  <IRQ>
[]  ? x86_pmu_enable+0x146/0x300
[]  __perf_install_in_context+0x150/0x170

The AMD64_EVENTSEL_HOSTONLY bit is defined and used on the host (L0),
while the L1 hypervisor Performance Monitor Unit should avoid such use.
