Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/intel: Save/restore cpuc->active_pebs_data_cfg when using guest PEBS

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

After commit b752ea0c28e3 ("perf/x86/intel/ds: Flush PEBS DS when changing
PEBS_DATA_CFG"), the cpuc->pebs_data_cfg may save some bits that are not
supported by real hardware, such as PEBS_UPDATE_DS_SW. This would cause
the VMX hardware MSR switching mechanism to save/restore invalid values
for PEBS_DATA_CFG MSR, thus crashing the host when PEBS is used for guest.
Fix it by using the active host value from cpuc->active_pebs_data_cfg.
