Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: selftests: Verify post-RESET value of
 PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL in PMCs test

Add a guest assert in the PMU counters test to verify that KVM stuffs
the vCPU's post-RESET value to globally enable all general purpose
counters.  Per Intel's SDM,

  IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL:  Sets bits n-1:0 and clears the upper bits.

and

  Where "n" is the number of general-purpose counters available in
  the processor.

For the edge case where there are zero GP counters, follow the spirit
of the architecture, not the SDM's literal wording, which doesn't account
for this possibility and would require the CPU to set _all_ bits in
PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL.
