Subject: [PATCH v2 05/14] KVM: arm64: Always support SW_INCR PMU event

Support for SW_INCR is unconditional, as KVM traps accesses to
PMSWINC_EL0 and emulates the intended event increment. While it is
expected that ~all PMUv3 implementations already advertise this event,
non-PMUv3 hardware may not.
