Subject: [PATCH v6 06/10] KVM: x86/pmu: Forget PERFCTR_CORE if the min num of counters isn't met

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

A sanity check on the number of counters enumerated by perf is added.
PERFCTR_CORE support is explicitly dropped if the min number isn't met.
E.g. if KVM needs 6 counters and perf says there are 4, then something
is wrong and enumerating 6 to a guest is only going to cause more issues.

Opportunistically, the kvm_cpu_cap_check_and_set() is applied to simplify
the host check before setting the PERFCTR_CORE flag.
