KVM: arm64: PMU: Allow userspace to limit PMCR_EL0.N for the guest
KVM does not yet support userspace modifying PMCR_EL0.N (With the previous patch, KVM ignores what is written by userspace). Add support userspace limiting PMCR_EL0.N. Disallow userspace to set PMCR_EL0.N to a value that is greater than the host value as KVM doesn't support more event counters than what the host HW implements. Also, make this register immutable after the VM has started running. To maintain the existing expectations, instead of returning an error, KVM returns a success for these two cases. Finally, ignore writes to read-only bits that are cleared on vCPU reset, and RES{0,1} bits (including writable bits that KVM doesn't support yet), as those bits shouldn't be modified (at least with the current KVM).
