Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86/pmu: Return correct value of IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES
 for userspace after vCPU has run

Return correct value of IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES when userspace tries to read
it after vCPU has already run. Previously, KVM will always return the guest
cached value on get_msr() even if guest CPUID lacks X86_FEATURE_PDCM. The
guest cached value on default is kvm_caps.supported_perf_cap. However, when
userspace sets the value during live migration, the call fails because of
the check on X86_FEATURE_PDCM.

Initially, it sounds like a pure userspace issue. It is not. After vCPU has
run, KVM should faithfully return correct value to satisify legitimate
requests from userspace such as VM suspend/resume and live migrartion. In
this case, KVM should return 0 when guest cpuid lacks X86_FEATURE_PDCM. So
fix the problem by adding an additional check in vmx_set_msr().

Note that IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES is emulated on AMD side, which is fine
because it set_msr() is guarded by kvm_caps.supported_perf_cap which is
always 0.
