Subject: [PATCH v4 07/12] KVM: x86/cpuid: Use fast return for cpuid "0xa" leaf when !enable_pmu

From: Like Xu <likexu@...cent.com>

Add an explicit !enable_pmu check as relying on kvm_pmu_cap to be
zeroed isn't obvious. Although when !enable_pmu, KVM will have
zero-padded kvm_pmu_cap to do subsequent cpuid leaf assignments,
one extra branch instruction saves a few subsequent zero-assignment
instructions, speeding things up a bit.
