KVM: x86/pmu: Fix type length error when reading pmu->fixed_ctr_ctrl
Use a u64 instead of a u8 when taking a snapshot of pmu->fixed_ctr_ctrl when reprogramming fixed counters, as truncating the value results in KVM thinking fixed counter 2 is already disabled (the bug also affects fixed counters 3+, but KVM doesn't yet support those). As a result, if the guest disables fixed counter 2, KVM will get a false negative and fail to reprogram/disable emulation of the counter, which can leads to incorrect counts and spurious PMIs in the guest.
