Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 3/3] KVM: VMX: Stop/resume host PT before/after VMX transition when PT_MODE_HOST_GUEST

Current implementation in pt_guest_enter() has two issues when pt mode
is PT_MODE_HOST_GUEST.

1. It relies on VM_ENTRY_LOAD_IA32_RTIT_CTL to disable host's Intel PT
   for the case that host enables PT while guest not.

   However, it causes VM entry failure due to violating the requirement
   stated in SDM "VM-Execution Control Fields"

     If the logical processor is operating with Intel PT enabled (if
     IA32_RTIT_CTL.TraceEn = 1) at the time of VM entry, the "load
     IA32_RTIT_CTL" VM-entry control must be 0.

2. In the case both host and guest enable Intel PT, it disables host's
   Intel PT by manually clearing MSR_IA32_RTIT_CTL for the purpose to
   context switch host and guest's PT configurations.

   However, PT PMI can be delivered later and before VM entry. In the PT
   PMI handler, it will a) update the host PT MSRs which leads to what KVM
   stores in vmx->pt_desc.host becomes stale, and b) re-enable Intel PT
   which leads to VM entry failure as #1.

To fix the above two issues, 1) grab and store host PT perf event and
disable/enable host PT before vm-enter/ after vm-exit. 2) drop host
pt_ctx and the logic to save/restore host PT MSRs since host PT driver
doesn't rely on the previous value of PT MSR, i.e., the re-enabling of PT
event after VM-exit re-initializes all the PT MSRs that it cares.
