Subject: [PATCH 2/4] KVM: x86/pmu: Clear "reprogram" bit if counter is
 disabled or disallowed

When reprogramming a counter, clear the counter's "reprogram pending" bit
if the counter is disabled (by the guest) or is disallowed (by the
userspace filter).  In both cases, there's no need to re-attempt
programming on the next coincident KVM_REQ_PMU as enabling the counter by
either method will trigger reprogramming.
