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.

Fixes: 62079d8a ("KVM: PMU: add proper support for fixed counter 2")
