KVM: x86/pmu: Defer reprogram_counter() to kvm_pmu_handle_event()
Batch reprogramming PMU counters by setting KVM_REQ_PMU and thus
deferring reprogramming kvm_pmu_handle_event() to avoid reprogramming
a counter multiple times during a single VM-Exit.
Deferring programming will also allow KVM to fix a bug where immediately
reprogramming a counter can result in sleeping (taking a mutex) while
interrupts are disabled in the VM-Exit fastpath.
Introduce kvm_pmu_request_counter_reprogam() to make it obvious that
KVM is _requesting_ a reprogram and not actually doing the reprogram.
Opportunistically refine related comments to avoid misunderstandings.
