KVM: x86/pmu: Fix available_event_types check for REF_CPU_CYCLES event
According to CPUID 0x0A.EBX bit vector, the event [7] should be the unrealized event "Topdown Slots" instead of the *kernel* generalized common hardware event "REF_CPU_CYCLES", so we need to skip the cpuid unavaliblity check in the intel_pmc_perf_hw_id() for the last REF_CPU_CYCLES event and update the confusing comment. If the event is marked as unavailable in the Intel guest CPUID 0AH.EBX leaf, we need to avoid any perf_event creation, whether it's a gp or fixed counter. To distinguish whether it is a rejected event or an event that needs to be programmed with PERF_TYPE_RAW type, a new special returned value of "PERF_COUNT_HW_MAX + 1" is introduced.
