Subject: [PATCH v6 07/10] KVM: x86/pmu: Constrain the num of guest counters with kvm_pmu_cap

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

A sanity check is added to limit the number of AMD guest counters,
which help avoid a situation if KVM only has access to 4 counters, but
user space sets guest X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE anyways.
