Subject: [PATCH 5.19 1107/1157] KVM: VMX: Add helper to check if the guest PMU has PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit b663f0b5f3d665c261256d1f76e98f077c6e56af ]

Add a helper to check of the guest PMU has PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL, which is
unintuitive _and_ diverges from Intel's architecturally defined behavior.
Even worse, KVM currently implements the check using two different (but
equivalent) checks, _and_ there has been at least one attempt to add a
_third_ flavor.
